    The article is full of historical and motivational detail, which is good for those with a taste for that, but left me wishing they didn't bury key points. But here are the ones I picked out that I didn't want to get lost by anyone not clicking in (caps mine for emphasis):

    «…a British doctor named Patrick Hart joined a new UK group called Just Stop Oil, which called for “bold action” until the government pledged to stop licensing new fossil fuel projects.
    …
    As he talks, Hart returns to variations of the same refrain: The world is ON COURSE FOR CATASTROPHE, and if we continue to rely on fossil fuels, BILLONS OF PEOPLE WILL DIE. “I don’t know how many times I need to say this, but like, we are so fucked.” GETTING MORE OPPORTUNITIES TO CONVEY THIS MESSAGE IS, to him, THE WHOLE POINT.
    …
    THEY WANT TO SHOW THEIR FACES, TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS A RATIONAL RESPONSE to the current crisis. WE’RE NOT THE VIOLENT ONES, they say. REAL VIOLENCE IS COMMITTED BY COMPANIES THAT ARE WRECKING OUR PLANET FOR PROFIT. Sabotage must TARGET PROPERTY, NEVER PEOPLE. The environment must not be permanently harmed…»

    Should climate liars and those funding them (e.g. fossil fuel executives) end up in the Hague?

    Prof. Catriona McKinnon makes the case:

    Mikko Puumala argues that ordinary morality which takes into account the demandingness-objection, may in extraordinary circumstances (e.g., the New Harms) entail extraordinary moral imperatives. It's just that an individual's myopic and tribalistic intuition is not often capable of grasping the consequences of our (in)action. We are not morally equipped for the modern world, so to say. Therefore, our duty would be to support science-based institutional measures which can do something even against our minute will (and maybe voting behavior).

    But do study the dissertation yourself, if you can. It's a treat!

    It gets more chewy from here:

    "An often-mentioned ground for the duty to engage in climate activism is the moderate principle of beneficence (Booth, 2012, p. 399; Cripps, 2013, p. 13). This principle, originally formulated by Peter Singer, requires the individual to prevent serious suffering in others, when the individual can do so at less than significant cost to herself (Singer, 1972, p. 231)."
