Fuck ther shit up until they gain a conscience
They also waste an incredible amount of space, during a housing crisis.

They are legends, they’ve painted super yachts, blocked private jets, and targeted golf courses to protest unnecessary emissions from the wealthy, which may as well be a paid-group by fossil fuel companies to divert attention from them being the biggest fucking problem.
The wealthy answer will be to have these activists convicted for terrorism for invading an airport
The American way
This I can get behind.
Finally, we have caught up to the orcas in climate action.
Golf courses use huge amounts of water. Streams get diverted to water them. The countryside dries up without its water, and then catches fire. It’s not good.
In southern Arizona they typically use reclaimed, non-potable water, at least. I wonder if they do that anywhere else?
Oftentimes they do not as it is quite expensive to make many kinds of “grey water” safe enough to be basically touched by golfers all the time. Being in the center of the desert with high water costs, it made sense in Arizona.
Regardless, keeping that much grass alive for such a small number of people to enjoy feels like a misalignment in priories of a local water authority to me. With the general trend towards water insecurities the world over I’m a bit upset with golf courses.
Golf, lol. How are they going to make sales and network? ( and get drunk and basically have the day off. )
If/when they get caught, this shit is a great use of jury nullification.
They won’t, and it’s pretty naive to think actions like this will cause them to grow a conscience.
Stunts like these are fun in a cathartic way, but not even a mild inconvenience or cost to them. It ultimately yields nothing.
I don’t, I was exaggerating.
I do think though that it’s about time the general public stops being so passive about climate change among other things.
Well I don’t know if them gaining a conscience is realistic. But if doing the wrong thing becomes too costly and inconvenient they might stop doing those things. Well… they might do slightly less wrong things.
It’ll be cheaper to remove those who make it expensive.
Exxon Mobile and BP, rubbing their hands together, yes, good, blame the retail consumer for another 100 years … don’t forget those straws
Private jets, Yachts, and Golf…
All things that the retail consumer has in spades, yes.
I don’t think that there is a confusion that these are exclusive.
I think many people have become increasingly clear-eyed about the people responsible, and it includes both fossil fuel executives AND the 1% more broadly. Frankly, it includes a lot of the top 10%, but I think it makes sense to direct the most attention at the most powerful people.
Yeah and the CEOs of Exxon Mobil and BP definitely don’t have private planes and yachts so they’ll be completely unaffected.
Yeah you know yacht owners, the little guy…
Oh these poor millionaires and their jets, always taking the blame for everything /s
Doesn’t golf have benefits for wildfires? The courses act as a fire break and if they’re built on the edge of towns can help stop the fire.
It does nothing to fix the root cause but things that help mitigate climate disasters are good too.
