Right, because 30°C in the middle of September is totally normal and in no way an indication that climate change is about to get completely out for control.
Let’s just go to the beach, everything is fine and we don’t have to change anything, let alone something that will inconvenience us.
Temperatures in September are already past 1,5 degree increase. We need to do something. Now.
Protests are allowed and expected to cause inconvenience, protestors are under no obligation to minimise inconvenience, and inconvenience is not legal ground for a mayor to limit or ban a protest.
Most Dutch people don’t like what these activists are doing.

blocking access to one of our biggest cities and one of the most beloved beaches
Yeah because the only way to get to Scheveningen is to take that small piece of highway? How about any of the other ways leading into or around The Hague? They aren’t blocking access to The Hague or Scheveningen, there isn’t one singular road in or out.
It’s quite likely that our Parliament will pass a law similar to the UK to criminalize the blocking of infrastructure.

Don’t pretend to speak for the rest of our country because you obviously don’t and don’t dramatize the blockage of a small section of ‘highway’ in the middle of a city as being a blockage of access to the entire city.
I know I don’t speak for everyone, that’s why you didn’t find a single opinion or generalization in my comment ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But if you want my opinion I think this is exactly the way they should be protesting right now. High visibility, on ‘the doorstep’ of the governmental buildings, non violent (unlike some other protests we’ve had lately by other groups) and only inconveniencing others.
I would have to imagine there is some selection bias for RTL nieuws. These numbers would probably look different if the NOS or EenVandaag did the survey.

Can I ask what your solution is?
pretty sure the Dutch don’t have enough time left to not be underwater.

If they don’t like being inconvenienced for a couple of minutes, wait till they hear about the climate crisis!
Oh so instead of decisive action on the climate crisis, they’ll just criminalize climate activism. Democracy at work. Noted.
Tyranny of the majority.
I mean, if people stop having kids you solve two problems so we are really on the right path already.
That’s quite the statement. Support for XR is growing with every protest. So “most Dutch”? I wouldn’t be so sure about that…

Good, that will stop the planet from burning, right?

Source: am Dutch too. Can confirm. Listen to your own advice, you too are not talking for all of us.
Ook jij spreekt niet voor ons allemaal. Als dat zo was dan stonden er wel meer mensen op dat stuk weg, dan had die politie je niet weg gespoten.
Dit is niet de manier. Dit is gevaarlijk en dom.
