Just Stop Oil targets private jets in swift action

They do. It just doesn’t get nearly as much coverage, because vandalizing an office building doesn’t make for attention-grabbing headlines. If they hadn’t targeted Stonehenge recently, I don’t know if this story would be getting nearly the same traction.
Protesting just doesn’t fucking work anymore. Just read the comments giving “Just Stop Oil” critiques on their protest strategy, while oil companies are still getting away with churning and destroying the Earth.
Exactly, throw a bit of paint on the glass protecting a classic painting of the countryside and listen to the howls of outrage at the vandalism.
Yet pollution from oil and the impact of climate change are doing far more vandalism to the beautiful countryside portrayed in those paintings. Yet this is met with shrugs, as we don't want to make any changes that might inconvenience us or more importantly interfere with the huge profits from oil companies.
A bunch of people on twitter were pretending to be worried about the lichen that grows on Stonehenge because apparently it's a particularly rare kind of lichen.
No words on what effect climate change will have on that poor poor lichen of course.
Lichen is very specifically mentioned as one of the species most likely to die from climate change short term.
