We need to change the weather and we need to do it quickly.
Greta is already very sweaty. If she gets any sweatier, she is going to cry.
Just Stop Oil activists have glued themselves to a road in north London on the 22nd day of the group’s campaign of civil unrest.
About 20 protesters stopped traffic in Upper Street in Islington, north London, on Saturday.
The Metropolitan police said: “Met officers are at the scene at Upper Street N1, where there are 16 Just Stop Oil protesters who have sat down on the road, four of whom are locked on to each other and six are glued to the road.”
It went on: “Traffic in both directions is blocked. Police are in the process of arresting those who are not glued or locked on for wilful obstruction of the highway.
“A specialist team is now on the scene and dealing with those who are glued and locked on, and they will be arrested when freed.”
It was the latest development in a two-week-long string of protests organised by Just Stop Oil, which is demanding that the government halt new fossil fuel licensing and production.
The Met later said the road had been cleared, and traffic was flowing in both directions.
It added: “Police have arrested 17 protesters for wilful obstruction of the highway. They have been taken into custody at a central London police station.”
What brave heroes.
There’s no coincidence the Tarquinius at @JustStop_Oil only ever target the most privileged parts of Britain: Zone 1 London, Harrods, Park Lane, Fortnum & Mason’s, Waitrose
Try this near Millwall FC or in Rotherham, Mansfield & they’d get a good kicking

That’s how you do it, folks: that’s how you change the weather.
The politicians aren’t going to do it.
We should abandon the illusion that politicians will come to the rescue of planet Earth, especially those who delight in calling themselves climate leaders. Time and again they have betrayed the faith that has been placed in them.

So you just have to get on the road and harass and annoy random people.
Greta Thunberg (Greeta Toonbarge) writes for The New Statesman:
We are living in a state of emergency: the climate, ecological and sustainability crisis is the greatest threat humanity has ever faced. For too long, we have ignored the effects, and now we are living through the consequences. Twenty of the 21 hottest years since records began in 1850 have occurred in this century. Since 1950 the global number of floods has increased by a factor of 15 and wildfires by a factor of seven. The abnormally hot and cold temperatures experienced throughout the world (temperatures in Britain passed 40°C for the first time in July) caused by global heating are thought to contribute to as many as five million human deaths a year. The natural world is being devastated: we are witnessing rapid species loss and the destruction of entire ecosystems.
This is a humanitarian catastrophe for those who are living, not just for those who come after us.
…
We should abandon the illusion that our politicians will come to the rescue of planet Earth, especially those who delight in calling themselves climate leaders. Time and again they have betrayed the faith that has been placed in them – using greenwashing and PR strategies disguised as politics.
But we cannot despair: the way we see and talk about the climate and ecology crisis has shifted. A critical mass of people – especially younger people – are demanding change and will no longer tolerate the procrastination, denial and complacency that created this state of emergency. I believe in democracy and in the power of collective wisdom.
It is not too late. We have a duty to help as many of our fellow citizens as possible understand the dire situation we are in. We must all do more to explain, inform and educate; public pressure can create profound change.
Wise, wise words.
This is true people power. The people working together to support the agenda of the globalist elite.
