MODERATORS
Gluing yourself to roads (and damaging pieces of art) is the pinnacle of useless or even counterproductive activism.
You annoy everybody including those who agree with you. With a message that is new to nobody.
You bring no new argument or information to the table that could possibly convince those who don't agree with you.
You are literally sitting around doing nothing.
This is not activism, this is passivism.
It also does not help, when you fly to the maldives on vacation right afterwards or do other similar schizo things.
What do you want them to do instead?
Just Stop Oil aren't coming with a message, they're coming with a demand. A very simple one that the science and international bodies are clear on.
They've had hundreds of media appearances, are regularly referenced by politicians and have hundreds of people getting involved (and often arrested).
In the short time they've been going they've achieved more than any orgs like Greenpeace etc.
"This is not activism, this is passivism" What a joke. Putting your body on the line, getting a criminal record is passivism? Do tell us what activism you're doing if that isn't.
"when you fly to the maldives on vacation right afterwards" Been hooked in by the right wing media good and proper.
No artwork was harmed.
redox reactions involve large amounts of energy being converted. These reactions can be made to happen at a very high rate. Two options for this would be to increase contact area between reductant and oxidizer, usually environmental oxygen, by grinding the reductant into a fine powder or you increase the temperature, as a rule of thumb, an increase in 10K (=10°C) is said to increase the reaction time by a factor of two. A good way to increase temperature is to confine gases inside a solid container, like a metal pipe, since a gas' temperature is inversely proportional to its volume.
