Politicians have offered no counter-narrative to the zealots and weirdos of XR and their kind. That is why they feel so entitled to impose themselves on the rest of us.
It has been left to the public and a small number of journalists to confront XR's batshit ideas.

E.g. perhaps, just perhaps, if the @BBC had allowed a diversity of opinion on @BBCNews and @BBCPolitics shows on climate change over the last decade, there would have been debate, and this would have been avoided.
@BBC @BBCNews @BBCPolitics This is the @BBC's only memorable attempt to subject climate alarmism to any scrutiny since 2013. Those two shows are to be commended. But they are not enough scrutiny of the most far-reaching legislative attempt to change society in our history.
@BBC @BBCNews @BBCPolitics Perhaps the most vapid parties in the history of Parliament, and their low-grade zombie MPs have, for the last two decades, hidden behind 'science'. As if they understood what the "science" -- not what their green blob lobbyists -- said.
@BBC @BBCNews @BBCPolitics This alarmist bullshit is a cross-party phenomenon, that has been going on for a long time. This vid is from 2006. There has been almost zero debate since that time, when a cross-party consensus was formed to deny the public a debate on climate policy.
@BBC @BBCNews @BBCPolitics That confrontation on the street is what happens when parties decide they are not going to disagree, and when they are going to instead use that issue to serve themselves and special interests. It will get worse the longer the legitimacy of climate policies remains untested.
@BBC @BBCNews @BBCPolitics If you ask the likes of Lisa Nandy or ministers of government departments what the basis for their policies are, they cannot tell you what the basis for those policies are. All they can claim is "the science". But they cannot tell you which science. "Science" is a fig leaf.
@BBC @BBCNews @BBCPolitics What Lisa Nandy tells JHB is the full extent of MP's understanding of climate change. Their only answer to any challenge is "the evidence", without any reference to the substance of the evidence.
The fig leaf barely hides this desperate bad faith.

@BBC @BBCNews @BBCPolitics Perhaps things will change now that XR has revealed what the green movement is really about. But there remain hundreds of MPs that are incapable of debating the issue in good faith, and without being directed by the Green Blob.
@BBC @BBCNews @BBCPolitics See for yourself. The vast majority of MPs are incapable of and thinking critically about climate change policy, and entirely unwilling to. Yet the agenda will radically alter the economy -- for the worse -- and change our ways of life.
@BBC @BBCNews @BBCPolitics MPs are actively hostile to debate, to scrutiny and to challenge of the climate change agenda -- to democracy. They don't want to hear it. They want the authority that 'science' seems to lend them while a deep, historic disconnection from the public undermines their legitimacy.
