Political violence wins again. Just Stop Oil just stopped oil in the UK. 

Healthy societies have an immune response to full-throated attacks on the foundations of their economy, culture, or politics. Dying or decaying ones focus on relieving the symptoms of a disease that is causing them discomfort. Better a long, slow decline than getting on the treadmill, improving one's diet, and lifting a few weights. 

Healthy at any size! That's the ticket! 

Now Just Stop Oil isn't Hamas--their version of terrorism was closer to annoyingism, but the principle was the same: use some form of inherently disruptive activity that coerces people to bend to one's will. Because the United Kingdom and the West are so weak already, actual violence wasn't necessary to get the desired results. 

I cannot believe it. They actually just stopped oil https://t.co/lssLk8K1zY

In just two years, the zealots at Just Stop Oil won their fight to stop new oil and gas drilling in the UK. Admittedly, they had a head start on achieving that goal due to decades of propaganda doing their work, but the group is rightly proud of their role in stopping new oil and gas production. They made the final push, and the final push was apparently enough.

Just Stop Oil will have a final protest on Parliament square on April 26 before building a “new resistance”

They said: “Three years after bursting on the scene in a blaze of orange, at the end of April we will be hanging up the hi vis. 

“Just Stop Oil’s initial demand to end new oil and gas is now government policy, making us one of the most successful civil resistance campaigns in recent history. We’ve kept over 4.4 billion barrels of oil in the ground and the courts have ruled new oil and gas licences unlawful.

“So it is the end of soup on Van Goghs, cornstarch on Stonehenge and slow marching in the streets. But it is not the end of trials, of tagging and surveillance, of fines, probation and years in prison. We have exposed the corruption at the heart of our legal system, which protects those causing death and destruction while prosecuting those seeking to minimize harm. Just Stop Oil will continue to tell the truth in the courts, speak out for our political prisoners and call out the UK’s oppressive anti-protest laws. We continue to rely on small donations from the public to make this happen. 

“This is not the end of civil resistance. Governments everywhere are retreating from doing what is needed to protect us from the consequences of unchecked fossil fuel burning. As we head towards 2°C of global heating by the 2030s, the science is clear: billions of people will have to move or die and the global economy is going to collapse. This is unavoidable. We have been betrayed by a morally bankrupt political class.

“As corporations and billionaires corrupt political systems across the world, we need a different approach. We are creating a new strategy, to face this reality and to carry our responsibilities at this time. Nothing short of a revolution is going to protect us from the coming storms.

“We are calling on everyone who wants to be a part of building the new resistance to join us for the final Just Stop Oil action in Parliament Square on April 26th. See you on the streets.”

Of course, any sane person would be repelled by Britain's decision to destroy its economic health for absolutely zero gains. Great Britain's contributions to greenhouse gas accumulations are minuscule--far less than 1% of the world's production, and even if the world were hurtling towards global collapse due to rapid warming, this decision would have precisely zero impact. China will just build another few coal plants, positioning itself to adapt to changing environmental circumstances, while Britons become poorer, freeze to death, and swelter in their homes and workplaces. 

Just Stop Oil originally pushed for the government to end new oil and gas exploration in Britain. The Labour government shared that policy goal and implemented it after they won the election last year. The group on Thursday claimed this made it "one of the most successful civil resistance campaigns in recent history."

The campaign garnered support from some Brits frustrated and concerned about the lack of global action to address climate change.

But the majority of people thought their actions were disruptive, annoying or poorly targeted.

Of course, Europeans and all NetZeroans have a long history of making choices the opposite of what is wise. They follow the John Kerry rule of farming: unless you eliminate it, people will starve!

The Europeans have followed Kerry's advice and are rapidly shutting down agricultural production in their countries. 

Really. They are buying up farms using coercion and permanently taking the land out of food production. Soylent Green, anyone?

I don't know how much the climate is changing, and the reality is that nobody else does either. I don't know whether and to what extent human beings are changing it, and neither does anybody else. We can't even figure out basic nutrition with any certainty, and we can experiment on human bodies all we want with control groups, tiny changes in consumption, supplements, and all sorts of experiments. The idea that we have a grasp on something as complicated as the Earth's climate is absurd, especially with no control groups. 

What we can figure out is the trajectory of emissions because the trends are clear, and that trend is upward, and no amount of tweaks by Western governments can change that fact because China, India, and the developing world are pumping out the CO2. Marginally changing the UK's emission will have zero impact on climate, and a massive impact on Britain's ability to adapt to whatever changes are coming. Poor countries do not spend money on the environment. Ever. 

Less than 1%.

The success of Just Stop Oil and NetZero is yet another example of feez over facts. Great Britain just shut down all steel production because it is no longer economical. So it will import steel from less efficient countries, ship it to their shores, increase carbon emissions, and become poorer. 

That is Just Stop Oil's success. That is NetZero--increasing carbon emissions but sending it overseas and out of sight. Is it any wonder that our adversaries and oil-producing countries funnel money into this scam? 

The BLM protests were of the same type of action: a scam. Tens of millions of dollars were extorted, funding the mansions of the scammers but pushing the violence to a less visible level. The COVID scam is the same, transferring trillions of wealth from ordinary people to scammers--only in this case, the wealthiest in the world. 

In the 19th century, the Ottoman Empire was the "sick man of Europe"--a declining civilization that collapsed, leaving a mess we are still dealing with more than a century later. Pretty much every problem we face in the the Middle East is a result of that collapse. 

What will the collapse of Europe leave behind? Nothing pretty.
