The incident occurred when Dr. Patrick Hart, a 37-year-old from Bristol, and Sam Johnson, a 40-year-old from Essex, ran onto the field and threw orange paint powder during the first half of the match. This unexpected act caught everyone’s attention and led to a temporary suspension of the game.

Stadium staff quickly intervened and escorted the protesters out of the stadium. One rugby player even helped in removing one of the individuals from the field. Pictures and videos of the incident spread rapidly, triggering discussions and debates about the protest and its purpose.

Zoe Cohen, a spokesperson for the “Just Stop Oil” movement, was invited to share their perspective on the matter. When asked about the decision to disrupt a rugby match, Zoe defended the protesters, explaining that their intention was to start conversations about the serious issue of climate change. They believed that creating a spectacle would draw attention to the urgent need for action to protect future generations and the planet.

However, the interviewer pointed out instances where ordinary people responded to the protesters’ actions differently. For example, a scaffolder pushed past demonstrators blocking a bridge to continue working, and a frustrated woman at the Chelsea Flower Show used a hosepipe to spray water on the protesters. Additionally, during the rugby match, security personnel and a rugby player promptly removed the protesters, suggesting that many may view their actions as disruptive and bothersome.

Zoe reiterated the importance of their cause, emphasizing that “Just Stop Oil” primarily advocates for an end to new fossil fuel projects rather than an immediate halt to all fossil fuel usage. They argued that climate-related deaths extend beyond official statistics, referring to the severe drought in East Africa, causing malnutrition and starvation-related deaths that often go uncounted. While acknowledging that stopping new gas and oil licenses in the UK may not entirely solve the problem, Zoe stressed the need to hold the British government accountable as British citizens.

The conversation shifted to recent developments, with the interviewer mentioning Kirst Armor’s support for the policy of halting new oil and gas licenses in the North Sea. Zoe acknowledged that this support was not entirely new, as other political parties and the Scottish Parliament had previously expressed similar views. They criticized the conservative party for receiving significant financial support from oil interests and climate denial platforms, suggesting a potential conflict of interest.

In closing, the interviewer urged Zoe to adopt a more positive message, highlighting the importance of technological advancements in addressing climate issues. However, Zoe emphasized the urgency of the climate crisis and its tangible consequences, underscoring that the impact of rising temperatures and failing crops cannot be negotiated. The discussion revealed differing opinions on climate activism and the approach taken by groups like “Just Stop Oil.”

As the debate continues, public opinion remains divided regarding the methods and effectiveness of climate protests. While some appreciate the activists’ commitment to raising awareness, others express concerns about the disruption caused and question the feasibility of immediate solutions to the complex challenge of climate change.
