Why Just Stop Oil's resolute young campaigners chose civil\ndisobedience.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe climate crisis deepens with terrifying predictability. Meanwhile, many\nof the young campaigners who seek to wake us up to the truth of this, through\npeaceful direct action, are silenced and stuck in prison.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey do not see themselves as brave heroes, nor as dangerous\nextremists; they \u003ci\u003edo\u003c\/i\u003e care about science and the role it should play in\ngovernment policy. As their personal profiles in the book reveal, their civil\ndisobedience is driven by desperation, but motivated primarily by love - for\nthose who have already felt the impact of a radically changing climate and for\nthose whose lives will be blighted in the future, often in countries which have\ndone least to cause the crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMisrepresented and often reviled in the media, Just Stop Oil and other\n'Radical Flank' environmental campaigners will be deservedly recognised in\nfuture, just as the Suffragettes have been, for the crucially important role\nthey continue to play in the climate movement. Theirs is a generation\nsystematically betrayed by politicians. And by all of us who allow this to\ncontinue, on our watch, year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSix years on from the biggest climate protest in history in 2019, led\nby Greta Thunberg, young people remain largely shut out of ever more\ndysfunctional political processes, able only to beg for the scraps of a 'just\ntransition' that would at best mitigate the coming devastation, much of which\nis now unavoidable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJust Stop Oil stopped active campaigning in March 2025. But for most\nof its remarkable young activists, the work of civil resistance goes on. They\ncontinue to shoulder the burden of attempting to secure change in a world\nlocked into a deeply damaging status quo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJonathon Porritt spent a year working with twenty-six Just Stop Oil\ncampaigners to co-create \u003ci\u003eLove, Anger \u0026amp; Betrayal\u003c\/i\u003e, driven by a fierce\ncommitment to Intergenerational Justice. The campaigners feel part of the\ninterlinked chain of humanity, empathising more powerfully with future\ngenerations than so many of us, even when many of them may well decide never to\nhave children of their own.    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 288 pages | Published July 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GARDNERS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63969562624349,"sku":"9781912945542","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781912945542.jpg?v=1774369099","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/love-anger-betrayal-just-stop-oils-young-climate-campaigners","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
