” Ordinary people are taking matters into their own hands today to do what our criminal governments have failed to do. We are putting our bodies on the wheels of the machine of the global fossil economy and saying oil kills; we refuse to die for fossil fuels and we refuse to stand by while hundreds of millions of innocent people are murdered. We are in resistance against our murderous governments and the criminal elites who are threatening the survival of humanity.

“The climate crisis will not end until every single country has phased out fossil fuels, but those who bear the greatest responsibility and have the greatest capacity must do the most. As citizens of wealthy countries based in the global north, we demand that our governments stop extracting and burning oil, gas and coal by 2030 and that they support and finance other countries to make a fast, fair and just transition. They must sign a Fossil Fuel Treaty to end the war on humanity before we lose everything. “

    I hadn’t thought of a boat barricade like that. It would definitely be effective in the short term. Unfortunately, in the US at least, the coast guard would end it real quick for national security reasons. That would certainly make international news though.

      You would be surprised how difficult it would be to stop a boat with a rope trailing from each quarter or midships on a boom. Get an iron cable around a prop that ship isn’t going anywhere for days, or longer if an alignment is needed.

      Massive damage that only harms the shipping company, and be sure to mention that ships and companies with environmentally friendly policies won’t be touched.
