Whether you hate them or not we are marching into a climate apocalypse and no one is doing anything about it.
The next century will devastate our way of life.
Swathes of land will become uninhabitable causing migration we’ve never seen putting pressure on everything as resources dwindle. Our food production will struggle under the weight of no insects and eventual death of over farmed and chemical soil.
What are we doing about it? Sitting at home with a bag for life and special lightbulb while megacorps pollute and destroy and virtue signal.
Try and tell your neighbour to leave a patch of dandelions and stop using weedkiller.

> Extinction Rebellion have been redirecting their protests at institutions such as banks and courts, including this one outside Vanguard Asset Management against fossil fuel financing.
This is definitely a step in the right direction. Protest banks, government institutions and corporations. They’re the ones destroying the environment and financing it. You’ll still generate headlines and proberly get more support.
As far as the altimatums, I definitely support stopping funding for new fossil fuel projects and a climate citizens assembly. But I’m worried this isn’t going far enough given the severity of the crisis.
Don’t worry, a lot of these companies are delisting and moving to the US.
Why can’t they pull stunts to get attention and donations then use that money to start a lobbying a group to push for the things they want? Bribe the politicians like everyone does. Covering a bank in paint is pussy shit.
Unless NDCs are dramatically increased, and policy and delivery mechanisms commensurately revised, many of the climate change impacts described in this paper are likely to be locked in by 2040, and become so severe they go beyond the limits of what nations can adapt to. If emissions follow the trajectory set by current NDCs, there is a less than 5 per cent chance of keeping temperatures well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels, and less than 1 per cent chance of reaching the 1.5°C Paris Agreement target.
Earth’s ocean temperatures have risen so fast in recent weeks that one indicator shows surface waters have already reached their highest temperatures on record — a worrisome sign ahead of a predicted El Niño climate pattern that could further accelerate planetary warming.
Abstract
Much evidence suggests that the wealthiest individuals contribute disproportionally to climate change. Here we study the implications of a continued growth in the number of millionaires for emissions, and its impact on the depletion of the remaining carbon budget to limit global warming to 1.5 °C (about 400 Gt CO2). To this end, we present a model that extrapolates observed growth in millionaire numbers (1990–2020) and associated changes in emissions to 2050. Our findings suggest that the share of US$2020-millionaires in the world population will grow from 0.7% today to 3.3% in 2050, and cause accumulated emissions of 286 Gt CO2. This is equivalent to 72% of the remaining carbon budget, and significantly reduces the chance of stabilizing climate change at 1.5 °C. Continued growth in emissions at the top makes a low-carbon transition less likely, as the acceleration of energy consumption by the wealthiest is likely beyond the system’s capacity to decarbonize. To this end, we question whether policy designs such as progressive taxes targeting the high emitters will be sufficient.
The question is why aren’t we all protesting!
Good for them, everybody should be supporting them in their objectives.
Criminal Damage carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, and given this is a criminal conspiracy to use violence against people and property to further their political aims, we should be looking at sentence towards the maximum end of the scale.
Jail them
Blocking the private jet terminal at the airport was a good one, although it didn’t get much media attention which is stupid asf because what’s more important? Shining that projector on rishi sanooks mansion was another good one, although he wasn’t home at the time.
Things like that are quite good and I would happily support any in my area. I wouldn’t tape myself to the motorway though 💀
Could it be there are listening and actually maturing their tactics? There is little to no advantage in targeting the public. The last few years of such action have been extremely counter productive for them.
Actually focusing their actions on the government and institutions should have clearly been their primary approach. Let’s just hope their situation is is recoverable!
Middle class children with nothing better to do, unfortunately.
As long as they feel smug in their beds at night with daddy’s Range Rover on the drive and mummy’s avocados in the fridge and their iPhone made in a sweat shop to tweet righteously from.
How about boycott German goods, since all of their manufacturing is all gonna be powered by coal once they turn these last few nuclear stations off?
To be honest, I would have been far more impressed if he had got his cock out and potted a couple of balls – It just looked like a gender reveal gone wrong to me
Sorry but these climate “protesters” are astroturfing.
Next up they will protest at the darts maybe…or maybe ping pong?
New and inventive, so they’re using ChatGPT to give them ideas 😂
Ooh I can think of a “new and incentive” protest, so basically you should go these billionaires in charge of fossil fuel companies and you should [I have been advised by my lawyer not to finish this suggest]
Yooooo guys, wait till you find out we emit like less than 1% of emissions globally, why don’t we focus on real problems like feeding our families, getting the NHS running again so people can stop dieing and not to mention crime?
Animal Rising promised 300 but managed 12 so this 28,000 is looking unlikely.
I suspect that the government may just introduce some form of internment for these protesters.
I’m convinced that JustStopOil is a false flag or something to get people to distrust and hate climate protesters. All of their actions seem targeted in a way that annoys the public more than it does the people doing the polluting.
Go sabotage Oil refineries, Banks, Politicians, CEOs etc. Fuck with the right people damnit.
