"110 years ago, suffragettes bombed and burned their way into the headlines… In the space of 18 months, they… torched nearly 340 buildings, including nearly 100 houses or hotels and 32 churches."

These days, we send the relatively tame #JustStopOil to jail for slowing traffic, or throwing confetti.

JSO are on the right side of history.

Just Stop Oil are on the right side of history

They might be the most troublesome protestors since the suffragettes, but I back these radical activists

Dr Tristram Wyatt, a senior Oxford zoologist: “One of the strange things is that JSO [#JustStopOil] is listening to the science, and the government isn’t.” 

Media is demonising protestors—or even BBC climate reporters—as hypocrites, loons, or both.

Kind of collective shrug or yawn prevails. Ignore #ClimateCrisis: it might go away. Keep calm: technology and the market economy will probably sort it out.
