Just Stop Oil is doing more harm for the cause than good

Mitigating climate change requires more than poems and protest

Odds and Ends of History

@Annekin takes like this fundamentally misunderstand what #JustStopOil is.

JSO is a last-ditch rebellion against a system that has already chosen the "burn the world" strategy. They're not trying to win you over. That's done. *We're* done. They're demonstrating to you the inevitable outcome of your decisions.

There is no art on a dead planet.

@danielquinn I understand why people who support JSO do so. I just don't agree with their tactics.
