Should really be Just Stop Oil activists bring stationary traffic to a halt in Shoreditch
Let’s hope they walked there and did not use a car.
(Edit: They’re) Still poisoning public opinion towards their cause I see 🙄
After the oil painting thing, I have a horrible feeling that the public are going to start taking things into their own hands
I’m starting to wonder if any Just Stop Oil activists live outside London.
Before all the trite comments come in saying “this won’t win people to their cause” their ’cause’ is the continued existence of the human race and its not really one you can win people over to.
If these people and all others like them fail, your neck is on the block too. At this point it doesn’t matter how they achieve it because we’re out of time.
Imagine the poor Shoreditch bastards in Tesla’s caught up in this
How did anyone tell that the traffic was intentionally stationary?
Was there really a difference to any other day in Shoreditch?
It’s such a pity that most people don’t grasp there’s a good chance that they and most of their family could be dead by 2040 due to the impacts of climate change.
The natural response to this information, is denial and anger, where people get angry, want to respond with anger to the messenger and refuse to accept the news. Or in the case of Reddit, downvote, but this doesn’t improve our predicament.
Since the 1970s, arguably the 1950s we’ve known that we’d hit a resource, pollution, climate and geopolitical bottleneck by 2040 at the latest, which will collapse civilisation. It really shouldn’t be news to anyone, but our optimism combined with denial forces it out of our consciousness.
The seas will be too acidic to support life, humidity and temperature will lead to fatal wet bulb temperatures beyond human survival thresholds, multiple bread basket failures will lead to worldwide famine and migration of 100s of millions of people, and more. Just one of these with be enough to bring down civilisation, but we have multiple threats converging.
There is no solution to this, no technology is likely to save us from what’s on the horizon. Our best bet is to stop burning things now, and maybe just maybe we can avoid the worst. If we’re lucky we might even survive with only a population drop of 50%, but otherwise we’re looking at a 90% drop or worse.
When you realise how bad the problems are that we face, a few people blocking some roads in London seems somewhat insignificant.
