Is peaceful protest enough to make a difference to the climate crisis. or do we need a “tornado of change”?

 Chris Packham has called for a “tornado of change” to tackle the
climate crisis and questioned whether peaceful protest is making enough of
a difference. The naturalist and presenter, a regular donor to the Just
Stop Oil campaign, is preparing to front a Channel 4 documentary
provisionally entitled Is It Time to Break the Law? In the film, to be
aired this summer, Packham will assess the impact of protests by those who
have broken the law and been imprisoned and ask whether more people should
risk arrest. “Peaceful protest has been a cornerstone of activism, but as
the urgency grows, we must question whether it is enough,” Packham said.

  1. The only way to finally defeat nuclear power is for a sustained series of nonviolent direct action campaigns in every country on the planet. This includes escalating series of nonviolent civil disobedience which disrupts business as usual for power companies, governments, construction companies and suppliers to these nuclear facilities. Without cooperation and money, the nuclear power utilities and the governments that supposedly regulate or even run the nuclear plants, cannot continue to function. They will have to shut them down and decommission them and build no more. Go to http://nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/ to learn how and read How We Win by George Lakey and read about the 198+ different nonviolent direct actions in history defined by the late Gene Sharp The Politics of Nonviolent Action.
