Climate Disobedience Waning?
By Robert Bradley Jr. -- June 19, 2025
“[Climate activists] should continue to spray paint stuff, block traffic, disrupt speeches, shows and performances, throw food and much, much more.” – Dana R. Fisher and Hajar Yazdiha (below)
Climate disobedience has quieted. The Progressive Left is in shock at the Trump Administration’s dismantlement of Deep-state Climatism. And there is little news from the UK, a hotbed of alarmism with their economy being sacrificed in return for no effect on global climate.
This was not the call from the beginning of this year. Consider “Why climate activists are becoming more radicalized (and why that’s not a bad thing)” by Dana R. Fisher and Hajar Yazdiha, which began:
In 2024, they spray painted Stonehenge, held “die-ins,” teach-ins and other actions in front of Citibank HQ, blocked the entrance to the Department of Energy and spray-painted planes on a private airfield. As these performative and disruptive tactics have spread, so too has the criminalisation and repression of climate activists.
A false analogy to the civil rights and women’s rights movement was then made:
