I lament that no one provided him with more constructive discussion before he embarked on these particular acts.</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climate</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/climateEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climateEmergency</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/Greenpeace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Greenpeace</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/CND" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CND</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/petrol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>petrol</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/oil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oil</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/ExxonMobil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExxonMobil</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environment</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activism</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/medicine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>medicine</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>law</span></a> <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/GMC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GMC</span></a></p>
