Climate Change Group: ‘Corona Is The Cure – Humans Are The Disease’
A climate change group that aligns itself with Extinction Rebellion, endorsed by Greta Thunberg, has launched an information warfare campaign, posting stickers claiming that coronavirus is a “cure” for the “disease” that is the human race.
“Earth is healing. The air and water is clearing,” tweeted Extinction Rebellion East Midlands.
“Corona is the cure. Humans are the disease!”
The post shows stickers with the same message and the Extinction Rebellion logo plastered on lamp posts.
Earth is healing. The air and water is clearing.
Corona is the cure.

Summit report: When another branch of Extinction Rebellion challenged that this “does not follows XR’s principles,” the East Midlands chapter doubled down.
“We are pointing out that from the perspective of the Earth, humans behave like a disease. The idea is not to be,” they responded.
While Extinction Rebellion East Midlands may represent little more than the ravings of one idiot, the notion that humanity somehow deserved coronavirus and that it’s good for the planet has been widely shared by environmentalists and celebrities.
After actor Idris Elba tested positive for coronavirus, he claimed that COVID-19 was the planet “reacting to the human race” as revenge for climate change.
Despite numerous claims that nature is ‘flourishing’ and animals are thriving thanks to coronavirus, it turns out that most of those stories are fake news.
Be careful what you wish for….
This whole thing reminds me of 12 Monkeys. And with the Greens ominously quiet …
Not fake news is that the Earth was greening as a result of the slight increase in the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. These climate loons were not noticeably voluble on that subject were they.
If humans are the problem why aren’t these muppets leading from the front?
Is it their ideologically-given duty to stay on to turn out the lights?
Isn’t it time for these nut bars to follow their own stupid philosophy and Jonestown?
They are already programmed to drink the ‘coolaid’!
I’ve got a couple of packets of plastic drinking straws from pre “save the dugong” days they are welcome to use.
Harvey: No, no, no; it’s the REST OF US who must comply, not those ‘Oh so Bright’ ones who suggest such things since, THEY are the ones who have the superior knowledge that the rest of us ‘Lower Orders’ will NEVER possess…
Aah, so Superior Humans don’t pollute the planet?
I see Wise Komata.
So what I need to do to become a Superior Human is to subscribe to Extinction Rebellion? And convince lesser humans to become extinct.
Have any of my fellow Superior Humans read Animal Farm?
No need to read it; we’re all actors IN IT…
(Remember; ‘…And the animals looked to the left, and then to the right, AND THEY COULDN’T TELL THE DIFFERENCE’.)

New Zealand’s political and economic events of the last eight days have been the biggest seen in our lifetime.
Among the decisions taken on what businesses can and cannot operate, the Ministry of Culture and Heritage has decided what publications can and cannot publish for the duration of the lock-down.
In short, while broadcast media and daily newspapers like the NZ Herald can operate, all other printed media has been shut down. This means community newspapers, ethnic newspapers, and current event magazines are banned from going to print.
In essence, the Government is saying that daily ‘news’ and entertainment is okay, but periodicals and ‘views’ are not.
In an emergency, freedom of speech doesn’t stop being important. It becomes more important.
The media play an essential role in society, and this extends beyond the daily media. Some of the best investigative reporting can be done by non-daily media.
These magazines are functionally no different to the likes of music radio or entertainment television, which are allowed to continue broadcasting.
The role of the media is not just to disseminate news. It is to hold the Government to account. It is to scrutinise. And while daily media do this also, they are often so caught up in the day to day, you need non-daily media and investigative long-form journalism.
Ethnic media reach audiences that the daily press does not. Similarly, in smaller or aged communities where online access is limited, local information is absolutely essential.
Weekly and monthly publications like North and South and the Listener serve a vital role in the community’s conscience and holding our leaders to account. They’ve had to shut up shop.
Assuming these smaller publications can take the same distance and health measures as the ones currently publishing, we say there is no justification in shutting them down.
Even at a time of emergency, no civilised society can justify the Government deciding what parts of the media are important and not important.
Holding leaders to account – and public debate on the measures being taken — is more important right now than ever.
Even during New Zealand’s times of war censorship, the Government didn’t choose who could print and who couldn’t.
Judicial review proceedings?
Over the last few days, we’ve been contacted by a number of publishers across the country. They are urging us to consider a judicial review of the Government’s decision. No High Court is going to uphold a bureaucrat deciding what media can and cannot operate — especially when the bureaucrat’s decision was done without any consultation.
But we need to hear what you think. Is this an effort to put resource and time into? Should we go to Court to force the Government to rethink this?
Hit reply and let us know — we’ll use your feedback to decide where to from here.
Thank you for your support.
