I think you need to check the definition of zealot. If anything the suffragettes were closer to the definition by self sacrifice and self harm they were prepared to engage in. So far all Stop Oil have done is cause a few roads to be shut for a while (Other routes are available) and disrupt a few events for a few minutesā¦ As for unrealistic expectations, whether we decide to stop using fossil fuel derived products before they run out or not is a choice we do realistically have, should there be the political will or consumers demand it.
There will come a time in the near future when the oil companies will be viewed with same distaste as we now see big Tobacco companies, if they continue to drive towards more exploration and useā¦ Shell "investing in renewablesāā who then charge profiteering levels to use their electric vehicle chargersā¦
Even more balanced scientific view is that we are potentially now fucked - and a bit in āgodsā as to which predictive model wins out, all of which spell some kind of doomā¦ the worst with major grain belts disappearing in North America and eastern EU and China, could see levels of food shortages that would cause serious political unrest and mass migrationsā¦ we should be fine though as if we can just send em all to Rwandaā¦
Good start by England at 41-0
