Activist group threatens to carry out ‘sustained sabotage’ campaign: ‘They have a choice’
Police in London are looking into claims that climate activists sabotaged the offices of several financial institutions, including JPMorgan Chase, Allianz, and Barclays.
The group Shut the System said it cut cables and glued electrical service cabinets in what it called the beginning of a “period of sustained sabotage” against companies financing fossil fuels, aka dirty energy sources such as oil and gas.
The Guardian reported that London police confirmed they’re aware of social media posts from the group, which included photos purportedly showing activists carrying out this sabotage. The group says it targeted JPMorgan for being the world’s largest fossil fuel investor, Barclays for being Europe’s largest, and Allianz for its role in insuring fossil fuel projects.
However, police said: “We have had no reports of any criminal activity at this time, but we’re speaking to those companies mentioned in the post and the wider business community.”
These actions highlight growing tensions around fossil fuel finance. Extracting and burning fossil fuels, such as coal and oil, is a primary contributor to rising global temperatures. It also pollutes the air and water, harming public health. Activists say financial institutions can make or break the clean energy transition. They argue that by continuing to fund oil, gas, and coal projects, they’re locking societies into more climate and social harm.
It’s no surprise that they’d resort to violence: the extreme enviroweenies have long done stuff like this, and as they became climate cultists they continued. From stupid crap like gluing themselves to roads and buildings and stuff to throwing soup on paintings to blocking roads and trains to spiking trees that could hurt loggers to defacing buildings and planes and so on. If they did do what the article says, it would be expected as they get more and more violent from their cult brainwashing. When you buy into the whole “the planet is doomed unless we Do Something” you get loopy. And violent.
According to The Guardian, Shut the System has threatened to escalate its campaign if financial institutions ignore its demands, which include ending fossil fuel financing, aligning goals and values with the 1.5 degrees Celsius climate target, and protecting Indigenous and human rights. Meanwhile, global pressure is mounting on the financial sector to phase out fossil fuel investments in favor of renewable energy, such as wind and solar power.
And, of course, their beliefs are all over the place.
