Just Stop Oil

Sentences for environmental activists set a new record for non-violent protest in the U.K, surpassing the three-year sentence given to another Just Stop Oil protestor who scaled the Queen Elizabeth II bridge over the Thames estuary.

Protesters attempting to raise awareness over climate change have taken up some wild antics the last few weeks, throwing soup across a Van Gogh painting at the National Gallery in London, throwing mashed potatoes at a Monet in Germany, and chucking cake at the Mona Lisa.

Group says the "climate disaster" vehicles were disarmed recently in nine countries — including the U.K., France and Canada.

Protesters turned out on Saturday, July 23, 2022, on the streets of London and in the Scottish city of Glasgow to demand faster action against climate change following the record−smashing temperatures that scorched the U.K. this week.

Six people have been arrested after climate change activists climbed onto an oil tanker in central London to protest investments in fossil fuel, British police said on Saturday, April 16, 2022.
