At least these guys are doing something about the elephant in the room.
I don’t think it’s been effective yet. But you are right, i have no idea what else can be done.

I understand that this is simply the consequence of trying to block a runway, but I don't think it's going to scare anyone off. Everyone involved knew what they were doing and if anything this is going to drive further activism. I wonder when we'll start seeing more serious forms of sabotage, it's just a matter of time.

I was ordered to take them down by lunchtime or I’d be in contempt of court. This is a British judge in 2024.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
