"Accidents" and deaths may be inevitable in extreme climate activism that could merit blowing up thousands of pipelines, author and radical climate activist Andreas Malm said in a startling new interview.
The "How to Blow Up a Pipeline" writer and activist gave an interview to The New York Times on his upcoming follow-up book, "Overshoot: How the World Surrendered to Climate Breakdown." At the top of the exchange, Malm was questioned on how "it’s hard to think that deaths don’t become inevitable if there is more sabotage" like blowing up pipelines.
"Sure, if you have a thousand pipeline explosions per year, if it takes on that extreme scale. But we are some distance from that, unfortunately," Malm answered.
When pressed on that response, Malm argued, "Well, I want sabotage to happen on a much larger scale than it does now. I can’t guarantee that it won’t come with accidents. But what do I know? I haven’t personally blown up a pipeline, and I can’t foretell the future."
Malm admitted that he has recently taken part in actions that have been "illegal" and "militant." The interviewer, David Marchese, then pushed back against his condoning of political violence in a democracy.
"We live in representative democracies where certain liberties are respected. We vote for the policies and the people we want to represent us. And if we don’t get the things we want, it doesn’t give us license to then say, ‘We’re now engaging in destructive behavior.’ Right? Either we’re against political violence or not. We can’t say we’re for it when it’s something we care about and against it when it’s something we think is wrong," the interviewer said.
"Of course we can. Why not?" Malm pressed.
"That is moral hypocrisy," the interviewer responded.
"I disagree," Malm said.

A lot of thing got be done doesn’t mean they well be.
Arrest him.
Inciting terrorism.
J6 locked up, commie climate loon walks free.
America today. That said I am all for his level of extremism.
Clowns like this deserve some of the shit they are serving
If it’s okay for the Biden administration to blow up pipelines then it should be okay for envirowhackos to do so as well.
and don’t forget the mess and pollution but he thinks they will not rebuild the pipelines ,LOL
Why is this marxist extremist leftist agitator still walking around except at the powers that be behest?
This little ungrateful dweeb and all his cohorts couldn’t make the microphone he’s using. They deserve nothing but contempt and derision from society. The Media sycophants who drool over them deserve a sound thrashing in the public square. The best way to do this is to elect Trump in a landslide, then rub their noses in it.
They’ll call themselves the Really Stupid Terrorist organization
Ya know, because blown up pipelines don’t do any environmental damage.
Malm <<— UTTER MORON
It would bother me. Why should we have to pay to support this little puke for 50 or 60 years? What wouldn't bother me is a far less expensive solution.
I am so tempted to track down this little puke and post his information here. But believe that’s against Free Republic rules.
We need more lunatic asylums and green light to admit violent climate change nuts.
They are terrorists and should be treated accordigly.
How will homes be heated without pipelines providing gas to run furnaces? Grid cannot support total electric power supplies....American may be in luck. Recent vids of Joe demonstrates his dementia deterioration,,,,,don’t think he will make it to Nov. MO/Obozo are waiting in the wings for the Marxist Dems to step into the campaign.
If he can morally justify actions that would kill a million people, then it’s very easy to justify a bullet between his eyes.
“Natural gas power plants could have propane backup.”
Nope. Not enough propane capacity. No way to transport it at scale. No way to store it at power plant sites at scale.
Gas turbines can burn it with minimal modification. But capacity constraints are huge.
“Trump is trying to normalize violence!”
a lil workplace accident maybe...
