"Just Stop Oil’s message to instantly turn off the taps is contemptible. But a green future is in the national interest"

What I find contemptible is Starmer lying about Just Stop Oil's call for a managed decline of North Sea oil and gas.

Let's hope #JSO do interrupt that embarrassing, carbon emissions shit show.

Imagine degendibg running around in shorts hitting a furry ball over a net as the reasonable way to use up the sliver of carbon budget we have left enabling the collapse of civisliation.

I'm finding it hard to make up my mind about #JSO's threats against #Pride.

On the one hand, I absolutely support their aims and agree that climate change is the overarching threat to our society in general and LGBT+ people in particular.

On the other hand, the tone of their "demands" is concerning, and I can see why their decision to go on the offensive can feel not only counter-productive but, as some have said, like punching down on a community already under newly growing pressures

In something of a tactical shift, controversial climate activism group #JustStopOil has been demonstrating in smaller towns in recent weeks. Today the Wiltshire market town of #Chippenham saw orange vests and banners for the first time. The group were met with some fierce verbal abuse, but thankfully no physical violence.

"'Cries of dismay could be heard from the public, though this later changed to applause and cries of "Well done".'"

This is a quote from #JustStopOil. If accurate, it show how the narrative is changing.

@GeorgeMonbiot Are new UK police powers to arrest BEFORE any offence is committed by protesters like #JSO folk are a equivalent to policing thought...?

@Fisher_DanaR #1 seems implausible. I (US anti-oil liberal engineer) haven't heard of #JSO (#JustStopOil) org. Maybe they mean 92% of some demographic? Such as UK politicians on Twitter? Or maybe 9.2%? And I can't find the 92% number in any of the Ozden Tweets, nor the Simpson paper (https://academic.oup.com/pnasnexus/article/1/3/pgac110/6633666?login=false)

Influential #DeSantis donor Kent Stermon, who died last week, used a personal badge for #Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office buildings more than 700 times since 2017, and on at least 25 separate dates in 2022.

Those numbers, released after Stermon’s death, disproved 2 years’ worth of blank Stermon access logs #JSO released in June. The department now says the missing logs were due to a “software” issue.

Direct action for climate in the UK has - so far - been nonviolent and distinctly mild compared to historical movements like:
Pankhurst and the suffragettes,
Gandhi and the Indian indepedence movement,
King and the Civil Rights Movement,
Mandela and the fight against apartheid.

This thread will be about Extinction Rebellion (XR), and the organisations which have followed them (JustStopOil, Insulate Britain, etc). Specifically, about their decision to rely on strictly nonviolent direct action.

How Far Is Too Far in the Fight Against Climate Change?

Ms. Carrington said the act was intended to elicit a visceral reaction, to force people to emotionally experience the potential loss of a masterpiece. “When you think about it, this is what we face with climate collapse,” she said. “The loss of everything we love.”
