The world has no obligation to offer you a solution. There may not be one!

Doesn't mean that we should allow the powerful to feed us lies about #GreenGrowth and delude ourselves with false hope.

These are not meaningless complaints. Tell that to all the activists from #ExtinctionRebellion, #JustStopOil or #KeepItInTheGround. Stopping extraction of fossil fuels is necessary and we can't wait for the mythical market forces to make that happen.

@AlasdairMackenzie

Will they also be expected to be impartial between those who vandalise cameras related to #ulez and those who take part in #juststopoil activity? If so how will #conservatives react and who will #SuellaBraverman support?

When is a vandal not a vandal? When they’re attacking #Ulez cameras, say desperate #Tory MPs

Investigating protest and #CriminalDamage is apparently now a waste of police time. Funny that Conservatives didn’t say that about #JustStopOil #protests

Radu wiped the sweat from his face again. "Boy, sure is hot outside! If I get a second with any of those #JustStopFusion fanatics I'll kick them into the river!"

Dorin was doom scrolling the news. "It says here that it will take two more days to repair the plant and get electricity back. The county will distribute Diesel generators to citizens"

"Never!" said Radu "We at #JustStopOil made a lot of sacrifices to get rid of it!"

"Have it your way then!"

Everyone should be listening to this on BBC now, Thursday 24 August, or on catch up. Listen to the billionaires squirm as they are questioned about their private jets for essential events ... 16th birthday party? Skiing accident? The heart bleeds.

We should name each heatwave after each #FossilFuel company and each storm after each of their oligarch bosses in turn.

#FossilFuelsKill Make them pay.

"""
Global oil demand will hit new highs and is expected to average 102.2 million barrels per day (bpd) this year, driven by summer air travel, strong Chinese petrochemical activity, and higher oil use in power generation, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Friday.

World oil demand is set to grow by 2.2 million bpd this year, with China accounting for more than 70% of growth.

The @Conservatives
are an international problem. Their priorities are to support "polluting companies" for kickbacks, this is why nobody can ever trust the #Tories to find and execute a proper solution to save the #Enviroment.

@WBOrcutt
Definitely. I think the key point is cutting fossil fuels is *essential*, along with animal agricultural emissions. Both, not either or! I guess #JustStopOil makes for a shorter hashtag

@Klara I agree that that is what climate action has historically been about. But the growing realisation among climate activists is that little steps are nowhere near enough while the global economy is hell-bent on growth at any cost. This is why activists in groups like #extinctionrebellion and #juststopoil are increasingly challenging the rule of law - a key pillar of this status quo - and being sent to jail for it. They are heroes. The suffragettes of the 21st century.

Not to mention the threat of being shot at a gas station.

Can we destroy the Tory Party *and* Labour? Starmer wants to boil us all while misrepresenting JSO's demands.

"The likes of Just Stop Oil want us to simply turn off the taps in the North Sea... it’s contemptible"

"We will need our existing oil and gas fields for decades to come"

“We won’t revoke any licences issued by this government... we take investor certainty... seriously.”
