Yesterday we went to court for having blocked oil infrastructure and glued onto the painting Scream. We did these to demand an end to oil exploration in Norway. Why? Because we believe that humanity can do better than to give in to extinction. 🧵

Systemic changes do not happen easily. They require shifts in the public debate and values. By blocking oil infrastructure, we aimed to start this debate by targeting the problem. No one noticed. So we decided to try something that would definitely be noticed.

Scream is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Munch himself described the work to be an “infinite scream passing through nature”. We glued a banner onto the safety glass saying “Fossil fuels are choking humanity" to make it clear what is causing the scream of nature.

« Qui est coupable ? ».
→ Le gouvernement, doublement condamné par la justice française et hors-la-loi depuis le 31/12/22 ?
→ Ou les citoyens en résistance civile qui seront en procès les 9, 10 et 16 janvier pour demander une action climatique à la hauteur de l'urgence ? [2]

Les faits sont là : les émissions de GES n'ont diminué que de 0,9% entre 2021 et 2022 selon un récent rapport du CITEPA, soit 6x moins que la réduction annuelle nécessaire au respect de la trajectoire des Accords de Paris. [3]

Amy-Rose, 20, from Bromley, appearing at South Crown Court today said:

“If you feel outraged by the actions of Just Stop Oil supporters, ask yourself how things have got to this point? Imagine how you would feel if it was your son or daughter locked away for doing what's right”

🚨 BREAKING: SOUTH LONDON SLOW DOWN

⏰ At 8am, 15 Just Stop Oil supporters walked onto the road at Bricklayers Arms roundabout in South London demanding the government halt all new oil and gas licences.

#FreeLouis #FreeJosh #CivilResistance #A22Network #NoNewOil #EnoughIsEnough

Sam Griffiths, 47, a Dad and designer from London said:

"I feel sick seeing how little is happening to address climate breakdown, the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced. And our Government is actively making things worse. Granting over 100 new oil licences is indefensible"

💬 "I started actively supporting Just Stop Oil after we had 40°C in the UK for the first time in recorded history. It scared the shit out of me. I looked at my boy and realised I couldn't just continue to do nothing."

♻️ JUST STOP OIL GIVE MET POLICE THE RUN-AROUND

🦺 Yesterday, 13 #JustStopOil supporters were accompanied by at least 17 @metpoliceuk officers on a slow stroll through London. 30 strong, the odd pairing marched along the Strand to demand an end to all new oil and gas in the UK.

🚓 The Met even turned up with five patrol vans and proceeded to slowly drive the convoy behind the Just Stop Oil supporters along the entire route of the march, causing traffic delays.

"Sitting in HMP Peterborough on my 22nd birthday, I’d like to reflect on the year gone by. On my last birthday I was sent to HMP Thameside for my role in the Insulate Britain campaign. A lot has changed since then: the cost of living crisis and climate crisis have gotten worse...

...and government inaction is costing more lives by the day. More citizens than I can count have been imprisoned for resisting these “leaders” and COP27 has somehow achieved even less than COP26 last year.

“I understand people must be frustrated with us, and rightly so, but we have to disrupt daily life because we are hurtling towards climate catastrophe, yet the Government continues to betray me, my generation and people in the Global South by issuing new oil licenses.”

1. 1.5C is not a point of data but a religious artifact. It is imbued with the sacred taboo of the global liberal class: the all pervasive dogma of progress, the unspeakable terror of regression and fall (a proxy for death). It can never be allowed to be passed.

2. But it will. And when it does a whole world of meaning will collapse and the psychological and spiritual suffering of this class will become unbearable for them. History will have returned.
