Chris Packham: Is It Time to Break the Law? \u2013 an extraordinary, anguished think piece \u2013 opens with an audio montage of Packham\u2019s desperate thoughts about the climate crisis, arranged so they chaotically overlap. This chattering inner monologue is accompanied by the unforgettable sight of the presenter\u2019s face slowly being smothered in thick, black crude oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OK, the \u201coil\u201d is probably treacle, but Packham\u2019s film does involve the idea of putting his own safety and future on the line. It is beyond merely thought provoking: it follows him as he deals with a profound dilemma about how to live his life, and what that life is for, and it tells us that this is a decision we at home must also now make. The climate apocalypse is here and, despite fires and floods around the world, there is still \u2013 maddeningly \u2013 little sign of the change needed to avert the deeper catastrophe that is coming. Voting hasn\u2019t worked. Peaceful protest hasn\u2019t worked. Rational debate hasn\u2019t worked. What now?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bring on the violence, the article and its subject continues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Packham, however, is deeply sympathetic towards the ordinary people who have become some of Britain\u2019s most hardline climate activists, via actions organized by the guerrilla pressure group&nbsp;<em>Just Stop Oil<\/em>. \u2026 Packham opines that society ought to feel shame at putting principled people behind high walls and razor wire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the risks these pioneers are willing to brave are not confined to retaliation by the state. Viral clips of the actions of Just Stop Oil increasingly feature members of the public taking grim pleasure in reacting with violence, from shoving activists out of the road to driving heavy goods vehicles at them. Packham states that those people have been riled up by \u201cthe rightwing media\u201d, referring to a Mail Online article in which Just Stop Oil activists are called \u201czealots\u201d who have formed a \u201cmob\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing what is at stake, Packham is still inclined towards extreme measures \u2013 not just approving of them, but participating in them himself\u2026. Self-confessedly lost and uncertain, he seeks further counsel. He meets the Swedish ecology professor Andreas Malm, whose book&nbsp;<em>How to Blow Up a Pipeline<\/em>&nbsp;is worth the publishing deal just for the title. Malm stresses that he doesn\u2019t mean literally blowing things up. Well, not necessarily. But he does advocate sabotaging pipelines or other fossil-fuel infrastructure\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the end, Packham does not make TV history by publicly announcing his intention to commit an imprisonable offence, though he does reiterate his support for climate activists who cross that line. There is one obvious reason to hope he doesn\u2019t get himself sent to jail: it would stop him making programmes as honest, as challenging and as urgently relevant as this.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Reaction on LinkedIn<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verel\u2019s post seconding Packham got a cool reaction.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:ugcPost:7110758823795019777?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28ugcPost%3A7110758823795019777%2C7110930501091123200%29&amp;dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287110930501091123200%2Curn%3Ali%3AugcPost%3A7110758823795019777%29\">Stated<\/a>&nbsp;the self-described \u201cSocial Entrepreneur, UN Award Recipient, Inventor, Vegan\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/theocosmora\/\">Theo Cosmora<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of spending hours sitting in the middle of the road stopping others\u2019 important travel, which may well include someone reaching hospital in time for an urgent operation or giving birth, spend the time and resources raising money for and deploying one of these in permitted river locations around the country to deliver clean very low cost 24\/7 energy to local communities nationwide.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Verel&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:ugcPost:7110758823795019777?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28ugcPost%3A7110758823795019777%2C7110930501091123200%29&amp;replyUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28ugcPost%3A7110758823795019777%2C7110941723672862720%29&amp;dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287110930501091123200%2Curn%3Ali%3AugcPost%3A7110758823795019777%29&amp;dashReplyUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287110941723672862720%2Curn%3Ali%3AugcPost%3A7110758823795019777%29\">responded<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s important to understand that the solutions to all are problems are already here, but they are being delayed by lack of awareness, lack of funding, and delay tactics by the fossil fuel industry.
