The opponents of Big Oil have finally done it. They’ve learned how to prevent fossil fuels from killing millions of people. You attend the world snooker championships, spread orange dye on a table and delay the competition. Works like a charm!
Or so they thought. On Monday, a “Just Stop Oil” protester at the world championships in Sheffield, United Kingdom jumped onto a snooker table and spread orange powder over it. Eddie Whittingham’s ridiculous protest delayed play between Joe Perry and Robert Milkins, but, though it rendered that table unplayable pending repairs, it didn’t stop Big Oil from fueling the world.

A second protester, Margaret Reid, tried to pull the same stupid stunt on another table, but the referee stopped him. She tweeted that what she and her accomplish did is nothing compared to what the “climate crisis” is bringing. Both kooks were arrested.

The protesters aren’t lone wolves spreading their own propaganda. They are part of a group called Just Stop Oil. Its Twitter account boasted about the foolish, futile attempt to combat fossil fuel:
“NEW OIL AND GAS WILL SNOOKER US
“At around 7:20pm, two Just Stop Oil supporters have disrupted the World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, interrupting play. The pair proceeded to cover the tables in orange powder paint before being removed by security and arrested. They are demanding that the Government immediately stop all new UK fossil fuel projects and are calling on UK sporting institutions to step into in civil resistance against the Government’s genocidal policies.”
Just Stop Oil’s second Tweet tried to excuse the protester’s intrusion on the world snooker championships:
“CAN YOU BLAME THEM FOR TRYING? We know new oil and gas will kill millions, but the UK government is licensing 100+ new fossil fuel projects. Why would ordinary people not try everything in their power to stop that?
Actually, yes, you can blame these alarmists for demonstrating unfounded fear.
An unnamed activist sympathetic to the chicken little doomsayers said Just Stop Oil is demanding the British government halt new fossil fuel projects and they’re pressuring UK sports organizations to engage in civil resistance against those plans.
That’s not happening on the World Snooker Tour’s watch, it says. “This is the Crucible. The show will go on.”
