As climate protests evolve, a group called Shut the System (STS) has initiated a new phase of activism, resorting to sabotage against fossil fuel corporations. Amidst worsening climate conditions and ineffective past protests, STS encourages disruptive actions to target essential tools and properties of these corporations. Their manifesto, shared via WordPress, outlines a commitment to escalate these actions until demands for halting fossil fuel expansion are met. This shift indicates a growing urgency within the climate movement as traditional methods don’t yield desired changes.
"In a manifesto published on the WordPress blogging platform, Shut the System (STS) says it is kickstart[ing] a new phase of the climate activist movement, aiming to shut down key actors in the fossil fuel economy."
"With climate breakdown worsening and fossil fuel emissions showing no signs of peaking, some say it is time to escalate the campaign of disruption, by carrying out clandestine acts of sabotage against the corporations they see as responsible for the destruction of the climate."
