1) "Tell the truth" - because of their actions, the UK parliament has accepted a climate emergency. When dealing with at best reluctant players, that kind of bureaucratic nonsense step is vital. 2) and 3) have links to 'possible follow up actions' on the site. This is a fairly democratic mass movement under attack and under pressure to act fast, so though in calmer circumstances you might say they should have had it all nailed down before taking action, they simply haven't. Doesn't mean they should do nothing till the details are democratically agreed. No. They are absolutely right imo to have a broad clear goal - "Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025" - and to aim to flesh it out on the hoof. The people's assemblies they call for people by random citizens are intended to be a means whereby goals will not diluted by spin and a clique taking over. The most important fact is environment and climate are being talked about widely, and there is a clear mandate for action based on the emergency status. Fecking good on XR! Take a look at their site and FB pages; they have my backing. http://rebellion.earth
