French public want climate activists tackled like terrorists

“Commando-style” protests by climate activists in France are provoking a public backlash and almost three quarters of respondents to a poll called for protesters to be dealt with using “counterterrorism tactics”.

In recent months environmentalists have staged headline-grabbing stunts, including throwing paint at artwork by Claude Monet on loan to Sweden and disrupting a performance at the Opéra Bastille in Paris, where a protester chained himself to the scenery.

Why Won’t the Media Admit When Mass Murderers are Environmentalists?

Instead, they’re described as “white supremacist,”“white nationalist,” and “racist.”

Last Friday, a federal judge sentenced the El Paso Walmart mass murderer, who killed 23 people and wounded another 22, to 90 consecutive life sentences. He still faces additional charges from Texas, where he could receive the death penalty.

Environmentalism is austerity on steroids

There are countless contradictions on what passes for the left these days. We’re against sexism, they cry, and then they’ll while away entire days hounding every uppity broad who dares to question the trans ideology. We’re anti-racist, they say, even as they yell ‘Uncle Tom’ at any person of colour who deviates from their white liberal orthodoxies. Be kind, they tweet, in between their venomous crusades against TERFs, gammon, boomers, deplorables, ‘semi-fascists’, you name it.

What Just Stop Oil really wants

 

Forget the tactics of these activists. Their creepy, authoritarian, anti-human ideology is easily the worst thing about them.

Everyone’s fed up with Just Stop Oil. The eco-extremist troupe’s recent stunts – bringing traffic to a standstill with their ‘slow marches’ through London; disrupting play at the snooker, the cricket and now the tennis – have turned off even its natural allies. Last week, Californian millionaire Trevor Neilson, who once helped bankroll the group, said its activities had become ‘performative’ and ‘counterproductive’. Even Swampy (aka Daniel Hooper), the notorious, tunnel-digging eco-warrior of the 1990s, has distanced himself from Just Stop Oil. When asked by The Sunday Times whether he would storm the pitch at Lord’s, as JSO did last week, he said ‘I wouldn’t have thought so, no’, adding that greens today should focus on ‘bringing communities together’. When Swampy is telling you to tone it down, you know you’ve lost the room.

Just Stop Oil protesters halt Pride parade: Police arrest seven

Just Stop Oil have stormed London’s historic Pride parade, after issuing threats to the LGBTQ+ event earlier this week.

Seven eco-zealots have been arrested after nine blocked the capital’s Pride March today amidst calls for the event to condemn new oil, gas and coal.

At around 1:25pm, the group sat down in front of the festival’s Coca-Cola float, branding it ‘the world’s worst plastic polluter, accused of numerous human rights abuses’.

Stag party who ruined Just Stop Oil protest by chanting ‘We love you oil, we do!’ arrive in Ibiza – as groom vows to take eco-clowns’ banner on tour of island’s mega clubs

Racist Canadian Smoke Stalks Blacks Warns Great White Weather Girl!

 

Smoke from Canada wildfires is increasing health risks in Black and poorer U.S. communities

DETROIT – Smoky air from Canada’s wildfires shrouded broad swaths of the U.S. from Minnesota to New York and Kentucky on Wednesday, prompting warnings to stay inside and exacerbating health risks for people already suffering from industrial pollution.

The impacts are particularly hard on poor and minority communities that are more likely to live near polluting plants and have higher rates of asthma. Detroit, a mostly Black city with a poverty rate of about 30 per cent, had some of the worst air quality in the U.S. on Wednesday, prompting the Environmental Protection Agency to warn that “everyone should stay indoors.”


I guess poor White people or Chinese or Himalayans don’t merit special mention other than to be relegated to a 2nd class “othering”.

They must think Blacks need the Great White Weather Girl’s benevolent guidance.

Oh look! The EPA has an excuse to desensitize you to the prospect of a climate lockdown! Once a genie is out of the bottle….

The classist lunacy of Net Zero

This eco-ideology is a cruel imposition on the lives of the working class.

So even one of Just Stop Oil’s wealthy donors is tiring of its classist stunts. Trevor Neilson, a co-founder of the Climate Emergency Fund, which has pumped money into Just Stop Oil, says the eco-irritants’ funereal, road-blocking marches for Mother Earth increasingly come off as ‘disruption for the sake of disruption’. You have ‘working people that are trying to get to their job, get their kid dropped off at school [and] survive a brutal cost-of-living crisis’, he says, and then along comes a ‘pink-haired, tattooed and pierced protester standing in front of their car’. It pisses people off, he said.

‘I helped fund Just Stop Oil — now their tactics are wrecking the cause’

Trevor Neilson emanates a surprising breeziness for a man who is about to disown a prominent part of his life’s work, chastise friends and former colleagues, and call into question the movement he helped start.

Neilson, 50, is a wealthy California entrepreneur, and looks the part. On a sunny day last week at the office of his start-up in the wealthy Pacific Palisades area, a stone’s throw from the crashing surf, Neilson sports a T-shirt, jeans, slip-on shoes, and the air of a man ready to unburden himself.
