Certainly an interesting development. The question is whether it will used in the near-term to scupper these climate extremist protests. I'm thinking, no. Making both the near and long term implications rather dire.
I feel like maybe the climate change protests were coddled and allowed to piss off the public so much as a way to bolster support for creeping govt overreach like this.
So they may finally crack down on them now this has passed, as a way to go "look, see how this isn't all bad?" to a public who might otherwise complain about the grim implications of a law this vague.
I suspect the "climate" protests will dry up because the goal is accomplished. The law will only be used to go after real dissidents against the regime, which was the original goal.
Expect it to be applied to anyone who publicly disagrees with White replacement immigration, "diversity" mandates, and "lgbt" indoctrination of children.
Nah, the climate protests are only a "minor inconvenience", as precisely measured by the Scientific "protest inconvenience" scale; no reason to shut those down.
