You’re justifying breaking the law just because you think the cause is good.

I promise you that this kind of protest has the exact opposite effect. Look at the comment section of any youtube video showing protests like this, and you’ll see what kind of radicalization this brings.

Get a permit, and protest in a safe way where you can still be seen, but not cause inconvenience or danger. If you think the government would deny you such a permit, then I congratulate you in making news headlines and successfully getting the entire population on your side.

The science largely disagrees with you; but as usual there are no clear cut answers on such complex topics.

I think if you’re looking at a YouTube comment section for a rational point of view about anything, you’ve already lost the plot.

Youtube is as Normie as you can get with the younger generation (the biggest allies of stopping climate change). And of course it isn’t going to be rational. There is nothing rational about this. It is to invoke an emotional response and that’s what you see in the comment section.

I’m sorry, but only radicalized individuals have any sympathy for the Just Stop Oil protesters.

No, youtube is a breeding ground for idiots when it comes to politics. Every comment and every dislike gives a video impressions so that the algorithm shows it to others. Youtube makes bank with hatret just as fox news does. You can bet that all the jzst stop oil clips will be shown to a audience that hates rhem more than people who feel indifferent about them or agree with them. Why? Because they dont comment on the videos.

These people hate what they see but still watch it and then comment on it so youtube shows them more off it.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
