Chapter 7421
When Charlie and his group got out of the car, many other people had already gotten out of their cars.
Most people taking this route are heading to the airport to catch a flight. They only have an hour or two at most, and some even have less than an hour before departure.
If they get off the bus now and run to the airport, they still have a chance to arrive in an hour. However, if they wait on the bus, they might miss their flight.
Hundreds of people dragged their luggage through the traffic. Charlie noticed that many of the locals seemed to take this for granted. They walked with their heads down, dragging their luggage with expressionless faces, as if they didnât care.
When Charlie arrived at the end of the traffic jam, he saw hundreds of people of various skin colors and ages, from teenagers to those in their fifties and sixties, sitting in a row in the middle of the road, wearing hoodies with the slogan âStop Global Warmingâ on them.
They held various flags and banners, and there were also some who appeared to be leaders. Facing the heavy traffic, they shouted loudly and enthusiastically through megaphones.
Interestingly, there was even an East Asian face among them, and the screams were the most excited.
Charlie listened intently and realized that his interlocutor was shouting in English: âYou are all the cause of global warming! You are the main cause of the melting of the Antarctic and Arctic glaciers!â
Another white girl joined in, shouting, âThatâs right! Arctic penguin chicks are losing their habitat, and itâs all your selfish human fault! You drive cars and emit huge amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, have you no shame?â
Charlie frowned upon hearing this and asked Maria Lin, âArenât there penguins at the North Pole?â
Maria Lin said with a smile, âThere shouldnât be any. About a hundred years ago, someone tried to bring penguins from Antarctica to the Arctic, but for various reasons, the population failed to survive stably.â
Charlie sighed: âThis kind of thing happens here as an environmental volunteer, isnât it embarrassing?â
Maria Lin smiled and said, âYoung Master, think about it from a different perspective. Anyone with noble values ââand sufficient knowledge would never do such a childish thing.â
âRight.â Charlie shook his head helplessly. He didnât quite understand the mindset of the extreme left in the West.
Just then, a middle-aged man in a suit stepped forward and said, âEven if gasoline cars arenât allowed to pass, at least electric cars are, right? Iâm driving a Tesla. Even if you think cars cause global warming, that doesnât include electric cars!â
