Another Vicious Circle?

It's difficult to know what to say about the actions of Insulate Britain. Their campaigners have blocked the M25 motorway around London some 5 times in a week, generating almost 350 arrests (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/sep/22/environmental-activists-face-prison-for-further-efforts-to-block-m25). Insulate Britain do have a legitimate case. The UK has, for a comparatively rich country, some of the worst insulated homes in the world. Emissions from homes have been an important contribution by the country to climate change for decades. Things appear to be getting worse, especially for the poorer sections of society, with the hike in energy charges. Badly insulated homes and expensive heating can be a lethal combination. The UK government has, in spite of making promising noises, done very little to improve home insulation. Direct action obviously has appeared, to some folk, to be the only remaining course of action. National Highways have now obtained a court injunction against the protests. Ministers can now claim that the activists face possible imprisonment for their actions. Ministers feel free to make statements like the protesters "cannot keep disrupting and endangering people's lives". It is, of course, difficult to protest without disrupting some people's lives. The disruption is, however, likely to play into the government's hands, especially in terms of the response by the motoring and commuting fraternity. Cheap points can also be scored about emissions from the static vehicles, adding to climate change. The fact that climate change will also 'endanger people's lives' is, however, completely missed. The victims may not be in this country or be in future generations. These protests appear to be currently helping the government keep on deferring taking meaningful action. There must be away out of this vicious circle?
