You really are a fuckwit then. Who either can’t or won’t readThe only ones that are stupid are those that think you can stop oil overnight.
They would be better off coming up with solutions to the problem themselves.
It shows that those who use the term must be the opposite and therefore are proud of their vice, their avarice, their selfishness, their petty objections to being mildly inconvenienced, and their small-mindedness in that they cannot imagine other human beings being magnanimous and actually caring what happens to our planet and future generations. They think we’re all as paralysed with self-serving cynicism as the rest of them in their race to the gutter
I don't need to read the ramblings of hypocritical loons. I want action.
I don’t drive a car for a start. Some of them are members of organisations, some of them scientists, who are actually working on many ways to improve renewable energy and to ameliorate the effects of climate change.I don't need to read the ramblings of hypocritical loons. I want action.
Just what have these loons or you done to reduce your reliance on fossil fuels?
I imagine they’ve done quite a lot from knowing people involved in XR. No flying, no car, vegan/vegetarian. What have you done?I don't need to read the ramblings of hypocritical loons. I want action.

That's the problem in a nutshell, isn't it. A world of armchair managers crowded round their TV screens shouting at people taking action that they're doing it all wrong. I have my criticisms (see above) and my personal desires for strategies, but I'm not the one getting punched up by some prick who's howling about how I should be crushed under the wheels of a car for causing a public scene.
So you're happy with these loons stopping ambulances getting to patients or getting patients to hospital as has happened?
Bet they aren't the loons gluing themselves to roads.
Are they still trying their best when they have been told that their actions are counter productive? At some point it becomes ignorance
How much?Bet they aren't the loons gluing themselves to roads.
Who’s telling them this? Vested interests?
How about you expand on the nature of the complaint, rather than just vaguely alluding. Outline exactly how extensive it is. How many instances? How recent? We can go from there with judging if you like. If you can't be arsed to properly research and support your outrage it's performative and I'm not going to waste my time.
Trying your best and being ignorant are not incompatible concepts, and I've specifically said I'm not against critiques (considered, rather than lazy shite). But if I only showed solidarity with people I thought were being clever I'd be abandoning most people who get arrested on demos.
plenty of people, myself included.
So you're happy with these loons stopping ambulances getting to patients or getting patients to hospital as has happened?
Would you be happy if said patient died as a result?
People who think that's acceptable are wankers in my book.
Bit tricky if you've glued yourself to the road.
Having bothered to look at jso's website I see no mention of research they are doing just links to research done by others.
Knowing what the problem is and how to fix it are two different things. I was referring to the latter.
It wouldn’t have been. The point IS to cost institutions and businesses a huge amount and disrupt everyday life. They need to start blowing up petrol stations and assassinating CEOs with drone strikes IMO, but this is a start at leastJust Stop Oil protesters cost police over £3,500,000 in one month, Met claims
What a waste of resources. £3.5M in one month + £10.5M between Oct and Dec.
Would have been better spent on research into the problem.
Leaving less money for research. Great logic batman.
That’s not how it works, you nitwitLeaving less money for research. Great logic batman.
You think oil companies are just going to roll over and go bust when oil/gas are banned or run out?
Oh - perhaps the police could promise to donate the money saved if they stop protesting to research then…Just Stop Oil protesters cost police over £3,500,000 in one month, Met claims

Aw bless you. No they aren't. And yes I know they say they are, and have loads of bumf about their plans for the future, but they aren't. Also money not spent on protest policing doesn't get magically diverted to stopping climate change you odd person.

I never thought it did but it could.

The above is a three-part documentary showcasing all the ways in which the big oil firms put off serious action on climate change for 30 years despite knowing perfectly well what the problem was. It's long, but I suggest you watch it to avoid further "oh hun" moments.Big Oil v the World
The most important story of our time. Despite climate chaos raging across the planet and urgent warnings from experts, our dependence on fossil fuels persists. How did we get here?
But that's not how it works though. So it wouldn't.
Those aren't "alternative green energy sources" though, they're greenwashing and, I suppose, diversification (where the thing being boasted about is not wildly exaggerated or, like "blue hydrogen," an outright lie). BP is in fact increasing its fossil fuel production, for example, by an average of $1bn a year through to at least 2030. You understand that it's not alternative if it's not replacing, yes?
