As you have likely noticed, the anti-carbon protestors are massive hypocrites.  They arrive at the anti-pipeline protests in their SUVs and pick-up trucks all equipped with the latest carbon-built smart phones and laptops.  The big name protesters, like Leonardo DiCaprio, fly in on their private jets.  They are happy to send the common folk back to the Stone Age while they will continue to live the good life derived from a rich carbon diet.
