New breed of climate protesters vows to take fight to ‘cowards’ of US politics
The Guardian ^ | December 26, 2023 | By Callum Jones

A climate protest group backed by a cadre of Hollywood film-makers is preparing to take action against “cowards” and “criminals” of all political stripes as the 2024 election approaches.

Climate Defiance, which disrupted events featuring a string of Biden administration officials this year, and targeted Darren Woods, CEO of ExxonMobil, in December, will consider protesting at events staged by both Democrats and Republicans on the campaign trail after concluding that its “very disruptive” action was bearing fruit.

In an interview, Michael Greenberg, the group’s co-founder, told the Guardian it will also focus “more and more” on state-level demonstrations designed to deter policymakers from approving fossil fuel projects.

Since demonstrating outside the White House correspondents’ dinner in the spring, its activists have staged protests at events featuring a string of senior federal officials, including the transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, and the energy secretary, Jennifer Granholm.

The Climate Emergency Fund, which has backed disruptive climate groups including Extinction Rebellion, has provided Climate Defiance with about $225,000 in funding. The group has received “roughly” the same amount from other donors, Greenberg said.

The fund’s directors include the film-makers Rory Kennedy, daughter of former US attorney general and senator Bobby Kennedy, and Adam McKay, director of The Big Short, Vice and Don’t Look Up. Jeremy Strong, the Succession actor, joined the board in December.

Climate Defiance would be much more valuable mixed with asphalt and rolled smooth.

I am so sick of these people and their constant whining and protests.

“A climate protest group backed by a cadre of Hollywood film-makers”

OK Hollywood. Prove your serious and go completely on renewal energy immediately ... also give up your private jets, limos and 20,000 sq ft air conditioned mansions to “save the planet”.

The lifestyle the rich and famous live depends heavily on “fossil fuels”.

When they give up everything made with petroleum products and live a life free of all that, then they can start preaching at us.

Until then, they need to stuff a sock in it.

Why bother doing Eco political terrorism?
Seriously, did the Climate Change people say just like 6 years ago that we only had 11 years left. Why bother starting a conflict for 5 years?

Oh.....so your saying that they were lying then and that somehow the Climate change (formerly Global Warming) people have it right now? Yea, sure they do. Those climate models have been correct for 30 years......ROFLOL. It’s just more theft of taxpayer money to support bogus research about ‘Climate Change’ and suppress real research into what’s really going on. Don’t be at all concerned by the economic collapse here in the US while all of our enemies dramatically increase CO2 production.

It’s a watermelon. Green on the outside and Red (communist) on the inside.

These zealots should remember the late Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto famous words, “…a rifle behind every blade of grass.” These guys would well remember what happened to others before them, recently, that take their violent rhetoric and actions on a roadshow. It won’t end well for them or their “cause.”

Any bunch of DUMMIES that tell us, human beings, to stop breathing because we exhale CO 2, is nutty beyond belief. Hey dummies, CO 2 is what plant life LIVES ON AND IN RETURN THEY, PLANT LIFE, GIVES OFF OXYGEN, WHICH WE NEED TO SURVIVE. Those screwballs in Europe are crazier than I thought possible. You can tell that they FLUNKED BIOLOGY FOR SURE.

Leftist disruptors have law enforcement and the courts on their side. Try to resist and they will destroy you.

Hollywood should lead by only using renewable energy sources and all items that they use must be made with sustainable resources.

We could use our own ‘Drill Baby, Drill’ event. Make it a concert with plenty of BBQ.
