Whereas climate science dictates the fase-out of fossil fuels, energy security academics say that it is impossible to completely eliminate fossil fuels in the coming decades while still meeting energy demand. Activism can be accused of complaining without providing solutions. // media not covering

Do you think that breaking the law (in democratic countries) for a good activist cause (trespassing, damage of property, resistance against law enforcement (police,…), etc.) is beneficial to the public opinion for said cause and can achieve change vis-à-vis law-abiding alternatives like demonstrations, pressure on local politicians, campaigning? Especially if policemen and -women are probably the ones ultimately most effected which the public is also aware of?

How do you keep away a radical spark (non-violence) from an activist movement that will (in my opinion) deteriorate the public opinion of the movement (or won’t it)? Examples that come to mind are the violent riots during the G20 Hamburg summit or the demonstration of “Le movement des gilets jaunes” in Paris.

Is activism (as presented by the Ende Gelände blog entry) the most efficient way for the majority of individuals striving for change? Might political commitment (become a party member, get elected, support information campaigns), support of respective climate change organisations (support climate lawyers, forestation projects with either knowledge/expertise (take up studying law/economics) or with financial support (maximizing one’s earnings to donate as much as possible)) , taking personal initiative in one’s immediate surrounding (e.g. advocating for a more CO2 friendly lifestyle) not be more effective?

What arguments would you use to support the efficiency of civil disobedience, rather than strategies as seen by e.g. Greta Thunberg?

In the blog post from Ende Gelände named "end of the ende", the writer speaks to a police woman who states that the cost to bring all the police officers and helicopters sent out will be very high for the government. Do you believe that these sorts of costs for the tax payers are justified by the cause?

Would be interesting to hear you elaborate a bit about your experiences of the driving forces behind activism. Why do people choose to be activists instead of other ways to try to accomplish change? Is the major driving force/atmosphere in the group centered around anger/dissatisfaction of a current situation or a positive strive towards a better world? Could those two driving forces be combined?

Have you personally ever experienced extreme violence for standing up for a cause you really believe in? And if so, what did you take from that experience? //Pontus Haag

Is activism a way of achieving change or more a way of raising awareness of injustice that should be changed? How do you achieve changes by activism?

In the blog post from Ende Gelände named "end of the ende" the discussion between the police woman and the author is described as "the uncomfortable process of growth that comes from incorporating another’s view". Do you have any ideas on how to make such moments more common between people with different views?

Greta Thunbergs schools strike spreads from country to country. So does the Exctinction Rebellion  blocades of roads etc.
1. Is there a new wave, with new types of action and people emerging - or is it (so far) mostly "the same old" type of people and methods in your opinion.
2. How can we make it grow in impact?

Celikates mentions the act carried out by HD Thoreau (withholding taxes to protest against slavery) and discusses how this may not necessarily be classified as civil disobedience because it is not a 'public act' as defined by Rawls.  Do you think there is still a space for non-public acts  to instigate change or is public activism always preferable?

After activism, do you work with the "party(ies)" involved to come up with an after action. e.g. policy action

Activism alone will not save the Earth, it can disrupt the organization involved for a while, but not permanently. Do you or your activist organization interact or discuss with people of power (e.g. policymakers) to try and change the current structure/system?
