That said Global Warming very well could mean that if it's not addressed...and I don't think Extinction Rebellion is an extremist group, they encourage peaceful protest not violence.
If they were a peaceful non-violent group then why would they threaten to close down Heathrow airport using drones to do so? If a drone flew into an aircraft it can cause a crash. How many lives would be lost if they "accidentally" destroy a 747? A Boeing 747 can carry between 416 and 660 passengers depending on the specific model. That would be an awful lot of innocent lives lost. This is definitely at variance with their stated peaceful goals.

A larger excerpt from a manifesto believed to be from the El Paso Walmart shooter (Patrick Crusius) which was titled "An Inconvenient Truth" reads:
The decimation of the environment is creating a massive burden for future generations. Corporations are heading the destruction of our environment by shamelessly over harvesting resources… Consumer culture is creating thousands of tons of unnecessary plastic waste and electronic waste, and recycling to help slow this down is almost non-existent. Urban sprawl creates inefficient cities which unnecessarily destroys millions of acres of land. We even use god knows how many trees worth of paper towels just wipe water off our hands … most of y’all are just too stubborn to change your lifestyle. So the next logical step is to decrease the number of people in America using resources. If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can become more sustainable.
