    Staying silent and doing nothing is gonna help how?

    This is generating conversation on the topic, which is good.

    Protest disrupts, that’s the point.

      This is the problem, people have been quietly talking about this issue and trying to convince people for decades. Barely anything has happened. Protest is supposed to be inconvenient. Not sure whether this type to protest works, but the quiet, passive way certainly doesn’t.

        Yeah all the experts have been sounding every alarm for decades, the peaceful and “proper” way have been proven to not work, no one cares to listen.

          Also worth pointing out the demand isn’t to dissolve the oil and gas industry over night - but to suspend all new licensing and expansion of the industry which in this case… is 1) something the UK should be doing anyway to meet their climate commitments and 2) not that radical or unreasonable

      Who is doing nothing? I would love to do nothing for even a week. People are working their asses off.
