  2. Про музей «Чёрное золото»: наоборот, если бы сделали музей, наполненный критикой нефтедобычи и нефтепотребления (плюс угледобыча, плюс природный газ), было бы интереснее. Особенно, если хорошо задокументировать всю выставочную программу, все дискуссии и оставить всё это для будущего. ⦾ artguide.com/news/10594 #BlackGold #JustStopOil #carbonfootprint #museums #artnews #Riyadh

  3. #HR1057: Penalties for #protesters on #InterstateHighways

    "Would create steep new penalties for #protesters deemed to be 'deliberately delaying traffic,' 'standing or approaching a motor vehicle,' or 'endangering the safe movement of a motor vehicle' on an interstate highway 'with the intent to obstruct the free, convenient, and normal use of the interstate highway.' The new federal offense would be punishable by up to $10,000 and 15 years in prison—a far harsher penalty than is the case under many states' laws, which generally already criminalize walking or standing on the highway. The bill provides an exception for 'any lawful activity' authorized by federal, state, or local law. However, it could still seemingly cover far more than 'blocking' the interstate, including a #PeacefulProtest on the shoulder of an interstate or a convoy-style, driving protest that slowed traffic. The sponsor of the bill made clear that it was in response to protesters. The same bill was introduced as HR 7349 in 2024.

    Status: pending

    Introduced 6 Feb 2025.

    Issue(s): Traffic Interference

  4. #Yasuní: Das Erdöl muss im Boden bleiben!

    Vor einem Jahr hat das ecuadorianische Volk dafür gestimmt, das #Erdöl in einem Teil des Yasuni-Nationalparks im Amazonas-Regenwald zu belassen. Doch die Regierung versucht, die Entscheidung um viele Jahre hinauszuzögern.
    Das Verfassungsgericht von #Ecuador muss diese verbindliche Entscheidung durchsetzen und die Regierung zwingen, sich an das Gesetz zu halten!

  5. It’s no surprise that big #polluting companies are not happy about annual #CarbonTax increases. But it is #unfair that #BritishColumbians must pay the full carbon tax when the #OilAndGas industry, whose production is responsible for more than one-quarter of #BritishColumbia #CarbonEmissions, gets a carbon #TaxBreak.

    The new system will also have a negative impact on B.C.’s carbon #TaxRevenues. In 2024-25, carbon tax revenues will be about $500 million lower than they would have been under the old system. This #RevenueLoss means fewer dollars to pay for #ClimateAction.

    These changes point to a #BCgovernment that is far too cosy with the oil and gas #industry. And they make no sense given the urgency of acting on #ClimateChange. #Disasters in 2021 alone caused between $11 billion and $16 billion in damage to the #BCeconomy.

    If B.C. really wants to be a #climate leader, the government must stop pandering to lobbying by the oil and gas industry that is causing climate change and act in the interests of all British Columbians

  6. Die ganze Sondergesetzgebung gegen UmweltschützerInnen wird die afd mit Handkuss nutzen, um DemokratInnen zu entsorgen, sobald sie die Regierung übernommen haben. Schwarz-rot-gelb-grün bereiten dem Faschismus den Weg.

  7. We need the #BCgovernment to get the message from concerned communities across B.C. that we must work together and with urgency to #protect #OldGrowthForests and #reform #forestry practices. To do so, the next steps are crucial:

    #StopLogging in the most at-risk #OldGrowth #forests, and other #ecosystems identified by First Nations, by providing promised funding for #LoggingDeferrals.

    Provide full #FinancialSupport to #FirstNations for long-term #IndigenousLed #conservation solutions, including #compensation for lost revenues and employment.

    Move away from the “all or nothing” approach common in forestry practices across B.C. and most evident in #ClearcutLogging. In its place, work with First Nations, local residents, industry and other stakeholders to implement forestry practices that prioritize important values like #biodiversity, #habitat, #WaterRetention, #Indigenous #CulturalUse, and #tourism.

  8. "The increasing severity of #wildfires and #drought highlights that reforming #ForestStewardship – taking better care of the forests, including safeguarding #OldGrowthForests – is one of our best hopes to protect communities across B.C.

    Harmful #forestry practices like #clearcutting and #unsustainable #IndustrialLogging make extreme heat and wildfires worse. #Clearcuts are #tinderboxes, more prone to creating embers because dead trees and branches dry out in the hot sun and become more #flammable. Tree plantations and improperly tended young forests also increase wildfire risk: Younger trees have thinner bark and low-hanging branches that can act as ladder fuels, and the trees are often planted too close together, making it easy for fire to spread.

    Fortunately, intact and properly managed #forests are more resilient to the worsening wildfires and heatwaves. For example, #OldGrowth #rainforests have dense canopies which provide cooling shade that resists fire. They are cooler and wetter than young forests, acting as giant sponges. Old-growth trees in the drier interior have thick bark, high branches and are widely spaced which all reduce #WildfireRisk.

  9. Twee jaar geleden werd in het #VerenigdKoninkrijk een #wet aangenomen waarmee #demonstranten strenger gestraft kunnen worden.

    Eind vorige week: vijf activisten van de Britse #actiegroep #JustStopOil werden veroordeeld tot #celstraffen van #vijf en #vier jaar wegens het coördineren van #demonstraties op de #snelweg M25 bij #Londen in november 2022.

    Het zijn de #langste #straffen die #ooit zijn gegeven voor een #vreedzaam #protest.

  10. 4/X Ns. raivoaktivismi - mitä esim. Twitterissä nähtiin / nähdään surullisen paljon - jossa esim. hyökätään yksittäisten yksityishenkilöiden kimppuun - ei saa suurta massaa asioiden puolelle. Tai kun tehdään aktioita, joita on rationaalisesti vaikea selittää asiaan liittyväksi - esim. #JustStopOil in moiset

    Se #Elokapina nkin tavoittelema kriittinen massa ei ylity. Itse asia ei etene. Monesti jopa hidastuu.

  11. 3/X #Ilmastokriisi in liittyen esim. #JustStopOil in aktiot ovat ihan oikeasti vain haitallisia #ilmasto asioiden edistämiselle - se ryhmä on ymmärtänyt väärin, miten #julkisuus toimii.

    Sen aktiot eivät myöskään #Elokapina n tapaan ole nostaneet esiin mitään muuta yhteiskunnallisesti hyödyllistä asiaa.

  12. Gantry climber, #CressieGethin 22, found guilty

    Court & Prison, Press / February 19, 2024

    #JustStopOil supporter and gantry climber, Cressie Gethin, has been found guilty. Cressie took action in July 2022, demanding the UK government immediately halts all licensing and consents for new fossil fuel exploration and extraction.

    The trial began on the 5th February at Isleworth Crown Court, with Judge Duncan presiding. The jury has found Cressie guilty by a majority of ten to two. Cressie, 22, a music student from Hereford, will be sentenced on the 3rd of May with two others. They face a possible ten year custodial sentence. [2]

    During the trial Cressie was prevented from talking about her reasons for taking action and was denied any legal defence by the judge. The court heard a witness testimony from acclaimed naturalist and television presenter, Chris Packham, who commented that those taking action like Cressie “should be commended for sounding a vital alarm”. He added: “I am attending court to support Cressie Gethin because I don’t think she is getting a fair trial. I think, along with the UN, that the UK’s protest laws and sentencing of protesters are unjust, draconian, and in conflict with our basic human rights.”

    Cressie climbed a motorway gantry above the M25 on the 20th July 2022, two days after the governments’ net zero strategy was declared unlawful, and one day after the UK recorded its highest ever temperature of 40.3 degrees celsius, a milestone that scientists previously thought was impossible. 61,000 excess deaths were recorded across Europe as a result of the extreme heat that summer, whilst the UK government continued to licence new oil and gas. [5]

    Speaking before the action in 2022, Cressie said:

    “I am terrified by the extreme heat in the UK this week, knowing that this will only get worse as we continue to extract and burn more and more fossil fuels. This country has the technology and money to begin a just and rapid transition to renewable energy immediately, but our government refuses to do so. I feel it is my duty as a human being to demand change in a way that cannot be ignored.

    Thousands of people will die this week as a result of the extreme temperatures we are experiencing in the UK. We are in this situation because of increasing global temperatures caused by the emissions from burning fossil fuels. Against this backdrop, the UK government plans to open new oil and gas fields. I am dumbfounded by their negligence.

    I am thinking of the countless people across the country and abroad who are now experiencing illness and death as a result of the climate crisis. People are angry that our government is continuing down the path of destruction, and we will not simply stand by and let this happen.”

    A Just Stop Oil spokesperson commented:

    “It would be extremely convenient for everyone if the climate crisis could be removed from our lives by the ruling of a Judge. If we could imprison the wildfires, if we could arrest famines, or if we could legislate against the rising sea waters that will leave parts of Britain submerged, that would be a fantastic outcome – but the reality is that we can’t and rapid decarbonisation is the only way of preventing these horrifying outcomes.

    However, the judiciary – like the police – is proving to be an effective arm of the oil and gas industry, by silencing and imprisoning members of the public taking nonviolent action against climate collapse. Future generations will be disgusted by rulings such as this.”

    As the world passes tipping points that threaten the breakdown of ordered civilization, world leaders, captured by the interests of oil lobbyists and big business, are failing to protect our communities. British citizens are sick of being led by liars and crooks. Until we stop Tory oil, supporters of Just Stop Oil will continue taking proportionate action to demand necessary change.
