I became aware of this movement today, as they yesterday blockaded 5 of London’s bridges.

I read that it started with the signatures of around 100 academics on the 26th of October.
This is the original “position paper” of the organization/rebellion:
https://theecologist.org/2018/aug/23/extinction-rebellion-diary-1-so-it-has-come
By Rogar Hallam from the 23rd of August of this year. He is a professional radical activist.

Roger Hallam is co-founder of the Radical Think Tank. His PhD studies looked at protest movements and revolutionary campaigns and what factors make them successful.
After several practical campaigns, including wins for precarious workers, a student rent strike, and a divestment campaign at Kings College London, he is turning his hand to climate change.
In this lecture, delivered at KCL in April, he first outlines the bleak current scientific thinking on man-made climate change, then presents the results of his campaigning research, and finally invites people to join a massive civil disobedience movement to force real change and quite possibly save mankind.
