As world leaders boarded their private jets home from Sharm El Sheikh, noticeably absent among them was youth activist Greta Thunberg, who in an interview before the conference accused world leaders and people in power of using the whole affair to grab attention, “using many different types of greenwashing.”
Reading her words, I couldn’t help but think about a group of protestors who last month grabbed the world’s attention in a more radical way than world leaders showing their faces at COP. I’m talking about SoupGate, MashedPotatoGate, and all the other protest actions that were sparked by Just Stop Oil protesters throwing a tin of tomato soup over Van Gogh’s sunflower painting in London.
In many respects the protest was a roaring success, generating international media coverage and making the front page of the New York Times. The video has been viewed almost 50 million times on Twitter alone.

Just Stop Oil
Climate activists from Just Stop Oil, the movement that gained fame for their protests in museums over the past month, are now moving on to street art.
The group has sprayed multiple buildings in central London with orange paint Monday morning.
Six activists used fire extinguishers to shower the facades of Home Office, the MI5 building, the Bank of England and the headquarters of News Corp at London Bridge. The group said that these buildings represented “the four pillars that support and maintain the power of the fossil fuel economy — government, security, finance and media.”

i guess i woke up and decided i want to start posting my art work. i made this piece in 2018/19 about climate change. i was new to photography then and there's probably a lot i could and can still work on but my focus was on nature photography. my favourite photo has a hidden butterfly in it. i used an old newspaper for the background and then stuck pieces of articles I found about climate issues. there are also paper flowers stuck on top of the art piece, just to create a 3D effect.

(not sure why the quality's so bad, hopefully isn't so for other people...)
I first heard this concept of "passive support" vs "active support," or, activism, when I first joined the Sunrise Movement. Right now, in my climate activism, I have been discouraged by how few people in my area, especially young people, are organizing. It isn't because people don't care, necessarily, they are just passive in their support. While ranting about the climate crisis (which, believe me, I am as guilty of as anyone,) is satisfying in the moment, why not use that energy to mobilize and build a moment and community fighting for our future? Are there climate actions you could organize in your community? Are there movements you can join?
(Important disclaimer: I completely understand there are people for whom civil disobedience and organizing is more dangerous. I am working on some art about this right now, in fact-- so stay tuned! The fact that in our society the people who are most likely to be impacted by the climate crisis are in the worst positions to take action means that those of us privileged enough to be able to be active in these movements have even more responsibilities.)

Climate Activists Glue their Hands to Paintings by Francisco Goya in Spain
The protest at the Prado museum, in which both protesters each glued a hand to the frames, did not damage either painting but caused their frames slight blemishes, the museum said.
Both activists were detained after the incident on Saturday, police said.
They had scrawled “+1,5°C” on the wall between the two artworks in reference to the Paris Agreement target of capping warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
In a tweet, the Prado said: “We condemn the protest that took place in the museum.
“The works have not been damaged but the frames have suffered slight blemishes. We are working to get back to normal as quickly as possible. We reject endangering cultural heritage as a means of protest.”
Climate activist group Extinction Rebellion posted a video online showing the two activists each with a hand fixed on a painting before the museum’s security officials move in.
The group said the two artworks in question were The Naked Maja and The Clothed Maja.
The action was a protest in the face of rising world temperatures which will “provoke an unstable climate with serious consequences for all the planet”, the group said in a statement in Spanish.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg to appear in London court
Climate activist Greta Thunberg will appear at London’s Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
Greta has been charged with public order offences in connection with an environmental protest in central London last month.
On 17 October, police detained the 20-year-old after she and dozens of demonstrators, holding hands, blocked the entrance to a hotel hosting an oil and gas conference.
Thunberg became known as the face of climate activism after she began holding weekly protests in Sweden in 2018, and she now travels around the world addressing crowds at marches and protests.
