I agree with this.

I don't believe that guys like e.g. Just Stop Oil in the UK are genuine people.

There might be some who got taken in by the movement and have good intentions, but the actual antics that go on just turn off literally everyone I know, to the extent that the entire environmental movement is now seen in a bad light.

The people on the ground are genuine alright. But genuinely useful idiots for the likes of Dale Vince.

They are funded by oil baroness to discredit environmental movements as bunch of crazy freaks and they are not even aware of it. So far it works wonders against environmentalism in the mind of common folk.
