‘A new phase’: why climate activists are turning to sabotage instead of protest

Tougher laws said to be inspiring clandestine attacks on the ‘property and machinery’ of the fossil fuel economyhttps://t.co/9TduiDIySz
Today, the Guardian suggests future movements are likely to go underground:
You’re not going to see people prepared to put themselves out of action by sitting in a jail cell for years, when they believe we don’t have much time left.
We’ve started seeing trains of coal being set on fire, arson attacks on cement factories, full-on riots between environmental protesters and the police.
I think we’ve got a long way to go in terms of how bad things can get but in the next few years I think we’ll look back and what JSO did, blocking roads and throwing washable paint onto buildings, will seem mild.
Arson attacks on cement factories? Apparently so. In 2024, climate activists set fire to a cement factory in Berlin:
Their action was, as they indicated, inspired by previous attacks by colleagues from France, Belgium and Switzerland who sabotaged concrete factories. According to the radicals from ‘Switch Off!’ concrete production is ‘totally deadly for the climate’ and generates more carbon dioxide than all air traffic.
