CLIMATE change protest group Extinction Rebellion has announced that it will "temporarily shift away from public disruption as a primary tactic."
Since 2018 the group has made headlines for its disruptive protests, which have included blocking the five main bridges which cross the River Thames in London, spraying fake blood on the Treasury building, and seen people gluing themselves to roads and being arrested in their thousands.
But in a statement released on New Year's Eve, Extinction Rebellion said that although their actions had made headlines, they have not succeeded in forcing radical political action on climate change.
