The New York Times published a guest essay by Andreas Malm, a radical climate zealot who has advocated for violence and blowing up pipelines in order to stop climate change.

"The climate movement in the Global North seems to be reading its history. In the past year, activists have been taking up the tactic of sabotage and property destruction along a spectrum from symbolic to serious," Malm said, after favorably compared their actions to those of British suffragists. He wrote that so-called"leading energy scholars" at Boston University"are discussing the pros and cons of climate militancy and coming down, remarkably, in favor of considering a full range of options, including civil disobedience and guerrilla warfare."
While noting it was important to"make sure that no one is physically harmed in the process," he justified extreme action, saying,"As for the ethics of property destruction, it is not, in this case, very complicated. Fossil fuels kill people. If you disrupt the flow of such fuels and damage the machinery they impel, you prevent deaths. You stop the perpetration of harm."

The group Just Stop Oil, which wants the British government to halt new oil and gas projects, said activists dumped two cans of Heinz tomato soup over the oil painting on Friday. London’s Metropolitan Police said officers arrested two people on suspicion of criminal damage and aggravated trespass.
