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.

So am I. It’s just a Trojan horse designed to turn the United States Of America into a Marxist banana republic.

Indeed. Climate change has existed for thousands of years. It’s called weather and it’s changing all the time.

Has anyone seen any evidence of this climate emergency?

I haven’t. Nothing that can be considered fact and not opinion.

This is what real “insurrection” looks like.

The temperatures have gotten warmer and colder and warmer and colder and sometimes they stay the same.

You can’t get a bigger “climate emergency” than that!
