Big action or token one-off show?

G'day guys.

So what are everyone’s thoughts on large-scale climate change rally’s or protests? Do these sort of actions get through to governments and the public or are they token events that just appear briefly in the public conscious then die away?

Do these kinds of events happen in your country? Does it result in changes to policy or raise public awareness?

I recently attended this rally (see link below) in Melbourne (Australia), and the vibe was very positive and energetic. I think it was an important event, just to feel like you were part of a change and campaign for awareness.

What are your thoughts?
