Time for this again.
I wasn't being smug, I was somewhat flabbergasted. Nevertheless I plead guilty to quite possibly communicating badly, so I'll try a reload:
Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) = man-made global warming (ie excessive carbon emissions brought about by human activity).
Extinction Rebellion (XR) are a global movement who participate in non-violent direct protest action in order to try and persuade governments to do more, a lot more, in the fight against AGW.
Last week saw the largest XR actions to date, in cities around the world. Yesterday evening Greta Thunberg, a Swedish 16 year old schoolgirl who is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her AGW activism, spoke to the XR crowd at Marble Arch in London UK. Marble Arch is a legal protest site allocated by the police for XR.
Uninterested = indifferent/meh.
Disinterested = not in a position where your financial situation might be influenced by the matter under discussion.
Here's a video of Greta's speech:
