If tomorrow, we redoubled our efforts to mitigate, to reverse Anthropogenic Global Climate Extinction, and again the day after, and the day after, and.... Their children might be the first generation to see some slight improvement.

It took us 150-200 years to really fuck up this planet spewing fossil fuel crap into the atmosphere with zero regard. It's going to take a lot longer to unfuck it, if we even bother trying.

If.

@gerrymcgovern

The Impending Anthropocene Extinction is almost completely caused by Climate Change, which is almost completely caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

#RightToProtest is under attack in #England and #Wales, reports warn
#HumanRightsWatch and Justice say recent legislative changes have had a chilling effect and should be repealed

by Haroon Siddique
Thu 8 Jan 2026

"The right to protest is under attack in England and Wales with laws trampling over human rights protections and more oppressive restrictions in the pipeline, two major reports have warned.

"Both Human Rights Watch and the cross-party law reform organisation Justice say recent legislative changes have created a chilling effect on lawful protest and should be repealed. Their reports, simultaneously published on Thursday, also say that proposals for more curbs should be halted.

"They highlight the arrest of Republic #AntiMonarchy protesters during King Charles’s coronation, charges and arrests of #ProPalestinian demonstrators and long sentences for #ClimateProtesters as examples of the crackdown on the right to peaceful dissent.

"Fiona Rutherford, chief executive of Justice, said: 'Year by year, we see police powers grow, as our fundamental right to protest is treated more like a privilege. The law in this area has become dangerously unbalanced, empowering the state to silence voices it should be safeguarding. Reversing this trend is essential to restoring trust, protecting rights and preserving a healthy democracy.'

"Lydia Gall, a senior Europe and Central Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch, said: 'The UK is now adopting protest-control tactics imposed in countries where democratic safeguards are collapsing. The UK should oppose such measures, not replicate and endorse them.'

"Both reports say that the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 and the #PublicOrderAct 2023 were watershed moments, criminalising large amounts of previously lawful protest activity and placing a greater emphasis on preemptive containment of protest through criminal law.

The 2022 law granted police authority to impose conditions on public assemblies on grounds such as causing 'serious unease' or being 'too noisy', described by Human Rights Watch as 'vague and subjective'.

"Members of the public can be arrested for carrying items – described as innocuous by Justice – including cable ties, bike locks or glue, on suspicion that they may be used for 'locking‑on'."

Thousands March in #London to Demand End of #FossilFuels and #GazaGenocide

'We won't stop until political leaders #divest from #war and destruction—and invest in a just, #ecological, and equitable transition,' said one campaigner.

Brett Wilkins
Nov 16, 2024

"Thousands of #ClimateJustice advocates took to the streets of London on Saturday to demand the U.K. government 'end its reliance on fossil fuels, commit to paying #ClimateReparations, and end its complicity in the #genocide in #Gaza.'

"Organizers said more than 60 groups—including #ExtinctionRebellion, Friends of the Earth [#FOE], #Greenpeace, #AmnestyInternational U.K., #PalestineSolidarity Campaign, #WarOnWant, and #JustStopOil — took part in the March for Global Climate Justice. The demonstration took place amid yet another shambolic United Nations #ClimateChange Conference and as #Israeli forces continue a war on Gaza that U.N. experts this week called 'consistent with the characteristics of genocide.'

"More than two dozen associated #protests were held in cities and towns across #Britain and #Ireland, including #Dublin, #Edinburgh, #Manchester, and #Sheffield. Over 150 actions around the world are planned for what organizers are calling a #GlobalDayOfAction for Climate Justice on Saturday.

"'Thousands of us united today in a historic mobilization on the streets of London, across #GreatBritain, and worldwide to demand an end to the era of fossil fuels and an end to the genocide in Gaza,' Climate Justice Coalition national coordinator Angus O'Brien said in a statement."

And how much economic damage is from climate change and pollution from #FossilFuels? #BigOil is the real criminal here!

#ClimateProtesters are taking action against Big Oil. UK courts are handing them prison terms akin to rapists and thieves

By Kara Fox, CNN
September 14, 2024

London CNN — "As #RightWing rioters attacked communities with #racist violence across parts of the UK last month, 22-year-old #ClimateActivist #CressieGethin sat in a prison cell.

"Her crime? Organizing a disruptive protest against new government-granted licenses to drill for oil — a planet-heating #FossilFuel — in the #NorthSea.

"In late July, a London court found #Gethin and four other members of the #JustStopOil activist group guilty of 'conspiring intentionally to cause a #PublicNuisance,' after recruiting protesters to climb structures along the M25 — a major ring road around London — bringing traffic to a standstill in parts over four days in November 2022.

"Prosecutors alleged that the protests, organized over a #ZoomCall, disrupted more than 700,000 drivers, caused economic damage of over £760,000 ($980,000) and racked up £1 million ($1.3m) in policing costs.

"Now Gethin and three others — Louise Lancaster, #DanielShaw and #LuciaWhittakerDeAbreu, who planned the disruption on the call — are serving four-year jail terms, while Just Stop Oil co-founder #RogerHallam was given five years. All are appealing.

"The sentences are believed to be the longest in the UK’s history for #nonviolent protest and were delivered under two new controversial laws that supercharged #policing powers to crack down on disruptive protests, even when they are peaceful.

"They place the act of planning a 'public nuisance' event, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, on a similar footing as #ViolentCrimes like robbery, for which punishments range from community service to 12 years’ jail, or rape, which is four to 19 years.

"The judge — who in court referred to the activists as '#extremists' — justified the long jail terms because all five activists had previously been convicted of one or more offenses in relation to direct action protest. Each were on bail for another set of proceedings when the Zoom call took place. He also noted people missed important doctor’s visits and funerals because of the protest.

"But activists like Gethin say their demonstrations are proportionate to the problem at hand — a rapidly warming world that threatens to transform life as we know it, through deadly #ExtremeWeather events and by pushing #ecosystems to their brinks. They are now battling the bolstered powers of the #police and courts to get their point across.

“'A very harsh sentence like this doesn’t make sense morally or legally — but it does make sense politically,' Gethin told CNN in a handwritten letter from HMP Bronzefield, a women’s prison just south of London’s Heathrow Airport.

"The laws have drawn criticism from the UN’s special rapporteur on #EnvironmentalDefenders, #MichaelForst, who said not only do they criminalize peaceful protest, but they are being enforced in 'punitive and repressive' ways."

"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.

Dame #EmmaThompson backs #JustStopOil as thousands join ‘#RestoreNature’ march

Story by Natasha Leake
June 22 2024

"Dame Emma Thompson backed Just Stop Oil as she led thousands of people on a march in London aimed at persuading politicians to prioritise #nature and #climate.

"More than 350 charities, businesses and #DirectAction groups were taking part in the #RestoreNatureNow march on Saturday, along with Dame Emma, businessman Dale Vince and naturalists #ChrisPackham and #SteveBackshall.

"Asked whether she backs the controversial group, which this week attacked Stonehenge with orange paint, the actress said: 'I think I support anyone who fights this extraordinary battle.

"'We cannot take any more oil out of the ground. I mean, there’s much argument about it. And I know there’s a lot of very complicated economic arguments about it.

"The march began at #HydePark at 12.30pm and protesters walked calmly in a line, led by Dame Emma and Packham who held a banner reading Restore Nature Now.

"Other banners reading #TheresNolifeWithoutWildlife, #ThereIsntAResetButton and Make MPs A Rare Species were visible in a sea of green foliage and #wildlife cut-outs as people marched past Hyde Park and towards Whitehall.

"Two 3D birds hovered at the front of the march, along with a bright blue butterfly and umbrellas coated in green mock foliage.

"People carried soft toy birds, wore animal masks and waved flags as the march processed.

"Chants of 'Restore nature now' echoed down the line of #protesters, as people rang bells, whistled and cheered.

"Packham said it was the first time organisations across the entire spectrum of campaigning and conservation have united, from the #NationalTrust to Just Stop Oil."
