Hey!

I don't know if many people will read this but there's a campaign to stop the 'Willow Project' in Alaska.

This project is the largest oil drilling project in the U.S. to date, with an estimated 576 million barrels of oil to be produced over 30 years. The project was approved a few days ago, even though President Joe Biden had made a promise not to approve any new oil drilling in the US. (I just copy pasted that from the page)

Through the link below you can choose politicians from the european parliament to send emails to, to stop the willow project. You don't have to live in a certain country to send a mail to someone, so if you could just take a few minutes and send some mails out it could do a lot of good!

You can write your own mail or there is one that's already completely written with all the facts and the harm that this project could do and you just have to sign your name.

Anyone else ever feel like bludgeoning oil executives and politicians to death with a rusty pipe over what they’ve doomed us all to?

The public wants to save the planet – as long as it doesn’t personally inconvenience them

“Back in July, Just Stop Oil (JSO) experienced something unusual – they found they were the ones being protested. An alternative group called Just Stop Pissing People Off attempted to block Just Stop Oil from engaging in disruptive protests and interrupted their events, saying that the climate crisis is real but that JSO is distracting and alienating people. The counter-protests tell us a great deal about Britain’s contradictory attitude to the climate crisis.

“Broadly, Brits understand that the climate crisis climate change is a major problem. 65% of us are worried about the climate crisis (versus just 28% who aren’t) while the same proportion supports the government’s aim of reducing Britain’s net carbon emissions to zero by 2050 ... Eight in 10 back more tree planting, subsidies for energy-efficient homes and higher taxes for high-carbon companies. 62% would support a requirement for all energy production to come from renewable sources. But this enthusiasm has its limits.

“When asked if they would back policies that would impose limits on what they personally can do, Brits quickly turn against them. For instance, two-thirds oppose the idea of a limit on how much meat they can buy, and a majority oppose banning petrol and diesel cars ... Even though 62% of voters back the idea of requiring all energy to be renewable, just 39% want to ban new North Sea oil fields, and a mere 32% want to prohibit the sale of gas boilers ...

“The British public is not as supportive of action on the climate crisis as many environmentalists would hope. We favour general, uncontentious ideas – net zero, tree-planting, tax rises on high-carbon companies – but when asked for our opinion on a climate policy that would directly affect us personally, we baulk. This is partly due to worries about the cost of living, but it’s also about avoiding personal inconvenience.

“Just Stop Pissing Everyone Off perfectly encapsulates the British attitude to the climate crisis: sure, it’s a problem, but not ours. As Homer Simpson once asked: ‘Can’t someone else do it?’”

“It’s abundantly clear that you are all good people. You are intelligent, articulate and a pleasure to deal with. It’s unarguable that man-made global warming is real and we are facing a climate emergency. Your aims are admirable and it is accepted by me and the Crown Prosecution Service that your views are reasonable and genuinely held. Your fears are ably and genuinely articulated and are supported by the science.”

“When the United Nations Secretary General gives a speech saying that the activity of fossil fuel companies is incompatible with human survival, we should all be very aware of the need for change. Millions of people, and I do not dispute that it may be as many as 1 billion people, will be displaced as a result of climate change.”

“No-one can criticise your motivations. You all gave evidence that was deeply moving. I certainly was moved. The tragedy is that good people have felt so much, without hope, that you feel you have to come into conflict with the criminal justice system.”

“Thank you for opening my eyes to certain things. Most, I was acutely and depressingly aware of, but there were certain things.”

“I say this and I mean this sadly, I have to convict you. You are good people and I will not issue a punitive sentence. Your arrests and loss of good character are sufficient. Good people doing the wrong thing cannot make the wrong thing right. I don’t say this, ever, but it has been a pleasure dealing with you.”

“You should feel guilty for nothing. You should feel proud that you care, have concern for the future. I urge you not to break the law again. Good luck to all of you.”

I notice that all the climate panic is mainly aimed at not putting more carbon into the atmosphere

is it just utterly unfeasible to think about drawing carbon out of the atmosphere?

i.e. someone please plant a shitload of trees

#I feel like #climate change is real #but also #people who think it's just made up are partly correct in that the panic is purely performative and nothing is actually going to be done #worst of both worlds #as per usual #'we just have to stop using fossil fuels'#well that's obviously not going to happen so are you going to come up with other ideas #or are you just going to keep playing that one sad song on your violin while the ship sinks

Reuters(Oct. 14 London's National Gallery)

The work is unharmed with only minor damage to the frame -The "Sunflowers" was covered by glass- according to the museum.

In recent months, climate activists have taken to museums across Europe to glue themselves to priceless works of art in an effort to call attention to the climate crisis. Targets have ranged from Sandro Botticelli’s Primavera at the Uffizi in Florence to the frame of Van Gogh’s Peach Trees in Blossom at London’s Courtauld Institute, to the base of the statue Laocoön and His Sons at the Vatican Museums.

Because the demonstrators never affix themselves to the works directly (opting for a frame, glass covering, or base), experts are divided over whether their actions threaten the objects’ safety.

We know they would like to make people listen.

Nevertheless,

"The sadness will last forever"

Common Dreams

Sept. 14, 2023

"Citi is the world's second-largest financier of fossil fuels," noted one group taking part in the protest. "How do these people sleep at night? How?"

Declaring a #ClimateShutdown, hundreds of activists blockaded the entrances of Citibank's Lower Manhattan headquarters Thursday morning to demand that the financial giant end fossil fuel financing and stop greenwashing its record of planet-heating investments.

"We're shutting down Citibank, the world's second-largest funder of fossil fuels," the activist group Stop the Money Pipeline explained on X, the social platform formerly known as Twitter. "Citi says it's a climate leader, but it's also the main financier of oil expansion in the Amazon."

Jay Waxse of Climate Defiance told Common Dreams that 25 activists were arrested at the protest, including two of the group's organizers.

Citibank is "torching the planet," said Waxse, "so the least we can do is disrupt business as usual."

"Workers were talking. Executives were reeling," Waxse added. "Citi must change their ways, or we'll be back."

Another group, Climate Defiance, said sources informed it that "every door in the Citibank HQ has been shuttered" and that "the bank just went into lockdown over the climate protest."

"Thousands of bankers are now getting turned away, angry and confused," the group added, posting photos supporting its claim.

According to a report published earlier this month by a coalition of green groups, JPMorgan Chase ($434.2 billion), Citibank ($332.9 billion), Wells Fargo ($318.2 billion), and Bank of America ($281.2 billion) have been the world's biggest fossil fuel financiers since the Paris climate agreement took effect in 2016. Those four banks alone accounted for 28% of all identified fossil fuel financing in 2022.

Groups participating in or supporting Thursday's direct action include Oil & Gas Action Network, Stop the Money Pipeline, Climate Defiance, Climate Organizing Hub, Climate Defenders, Youth Climate Finance Alliance, and New York Communities for Chang

"Since the Paris agreement was adopted, Wall Street banks have provided $1.4 trillion to the fossil fuel industry," Stop the Money Pipeline's website explains. "Big asset managers are the world's largest investors in coal, oil, and gas. Insurance companies provide insurance for new fossil fuel projects without which they could not be built."

"The fossil fuel corporations driving the climate crisis depend on this support of the financial sector," the group added. "That's why we're pushing banks, insurance companies, and asset managers to end fossil financing. If we stop the flow of money, we stop the flow of oil."

Future wars will be fought over access to water

The mass extinction we’re seeing today will be nothing compared to the amount of death that clean water shortages will lead to, for all living things on this planet.

#people telling you it’s not too late are selling something #it’s a comforting lie #nothing more #we can still stop it and reverse it #but it will absolutely get worse before it gets better #climate change #climate emergency #climate anxiety #climate chaos #climate solutions #climate wars #climate disaster #climate activism #capitalism #late stage capitalism #eat the rich #fossil fuels
