You really can’t make this stuff up. Heiress of billionaire Getty oil dynasty ‘donates $1 million to… Just Stop Oil disruption group.
- Aileen Getty has given more than £800,000 ($1million) of her own money to fund climate change action
- She is the granddaughter of American oil tycoon J Paul Getty, who was once named the world’s richest man
- The money has gone to the Climate Emergency Fund which has given grants to eco-zealots Just Stop Oil
- Its supporters have caused chaos by blocking roads, sabotaging petrol stations and disrupting events

It doesn’t get any more stupidly sickening than this, especially since these climatic eco-tards now have blood on their hands.
This whole group of idiots, some rich and some wannabes, who think they know the answers and are justified in destruction of cultural treasures, not to mention putting human life at risk, needs to be dealt with appropriately, like with police dogs, tasers, and pepper spray. There’s a video I would like to see.
A good caning would help for starters.
She only have £800,000?? Cheapskate, she should donate every £ € ¥ $ of that ill gotten gain to ME and kept none for herself. I don’t mind tainted money.
She only
havegaveIf Ms. Getty wants to vandalize art for some crazy reason, why doesn’t she do it at her own museum(s) in LA? Plenty of nutballs there who need a job. Destroying civilization is what they’re good at, too.
Eco turds, surely?
With all that billionaire oil money they should be feeling FLUSH
In ancient times, also more recently, so many powerful civilizations were brought down by barbarians from within.
Rebel with a cause, without a clue, and an inheritance. Thanks, mom and dad.
I’m sure there all kinds of laws that could be enforced with fines and jail time handed out. That’s not happening because why?
Getty confirms these people have more money than sense
Lenin on an “art” train
What could possibly go wrong?
A sick form of ‘virtue signalling”?
purchasing indulgences and “protection”
Al Gore also inherited money from Occidental Petroleum, although he hopes people forget that now. Nothing like biting the hand that fed you.
But when some of these crazies chain themselves or glue themselves somewhere, Volkswagen had the right response–turn off the light and heat, and let them poop their pants.
Does anyone know how that ended up? Did they sit there all night in the dark (hopefully)?
I was curious about how that turned out too, BobM. I did a follow-up is near the end of the original article.
There’s a more thorough follow-up in the Daily Mail. I don’t have that link at hand, though.

H.R. – thanks for that. 42 hours seems a long time to avoid Mother Nature calling. I applaud the dealership, and hope they didn’t interfere with those protester’s intimate experiences with themselves. I wonder if, after 24 hours or so, some might have decided to NOT eat or drink. hahahahaha.
I’d like to know what the Marxists promised the elites to get such support.
I love looking at the photos in the press of Just Stop Oil protestors to see how many are wearing clothing made with man-made fibres derived from oil and coal. Do as I say not as I do!
I’m beyond terrified, I can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I’m barely hanging on by a thread here. Can someone here please debunk this? The Arctic Death Spiral – Scientists’ Warning (scientistswarning.org)
It’s OK…Breathe…Breathe…Breathe…Deep Cleansing Breaths, IN AND OUT…IN AND OUT…IN AND OIUT… release all that Pent-up CO2 from your lungs into the Biosphere that depends on it.
If the “Arctic Death Spiral” we’re a real irreversible condition that could befall the high latitudes, the Arctic would have boreal forests and no snow already from the last time CO2 concentrations were even higher than they are now and the Earth would be in perpetual Hot House conditions.
Can you go into more specific detail that refutes what’s actually being said in that article?
How does one prove that a tipping point doesn’t exist 🙂
You know in the dark ages people used to believe that there was an tipping point that if you went to far you fell off the earth … now we realize the concept was stupid but you are out there trying to convince us 🙂
Lets give you a fact that if you melt all the ice on the planet sea level only rises 90m (around 300ft) so there will always be land and the process would take thousands of years so stop worrying.If what you believe was true some cities might have to retreat to higher ground but they have plenty of time to do it. Sea level rise is never going to be an issue.
How about reading the first sentance and compate with facts?
“According to Jarvis Cocker, author at The Guardian who wrote The Iceman Cometh, “of the Arctic sea ice, 75% has been lost over the past 30 years.”
Looks like the trend last 50 years are – 12.3%per decade. With a sligh leveling last 20 years. How can that result in a 75% loss in tree decades?
https://nsidc.org/data/seaice_index
Why even read the rest when it could be debunked in the first sentance? Relax and realize that that manure of article is pure fearmongering.
It’s OK…Breathe…Breathe…Breathe…Deep Cleansing Breaths, IN AND OUT…IN AND OUT…IN AND OIUT… release all that Pent-up CO2 from your lungs into the Biosphere that depends on it.
Do calm yourself. There are a few artfully manipulated images designed to promote alarm in that article. Most amusingly, though, they actually use a sensible one that completely belies their wailing rhetoric.
The graph itself shows that noo rapid decline is occurring. What is even more prominent, is that it starts at 8. If it started at zero, there would look like no decline!
I keep reading that in the next couple of years there’s going to be a blue ocean event which will be the major tipping point causing major positive feedback loops and make things happen very quickly and drastically and everything will unravel and that we won’t survive this. Can you possibly provide a good refutal that proves this isn’t going to happen because the scientists keep moving the date closer and closer and people are saying this is going to happen and I can barely function. Please I am desperately begging for help here. I can’t take this anymore
As per above why would you worry about it … even if true it is well outside human lifespans. You know one day the sun will burn out and explode do you worry about that? Earth ceases to exist in 5Billion years no matter what happens and there is nothing you can do about it.
Bobby K, we’ve already passed several deadlines, tipping points, and end of the world predictions in the last few decades. And nothing happened. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Understand? By asking for detailed proofs to counter fantasies the way you are, one would have to be able to prove aliens aren’t coming in a fleet of saucers to take over the world. You don’t need evidence that won’t happen do you?
Tipping points don’t exist except in the fevered imaginations of doommongers. If they did exist, they would be reached due to warming of any kind, for any reason. They obviously have not, since we are all still here, so cannot exist.
Where do you keep reading “that” ?
Suggestion 1 : Widen your reading habits.
Suggestion 2 : Stop your “I read it on the Internet … and therefore it must be true ! ! !” mindset.
A fundamental axiom of logical analysis is :
“It is impossible to ‘prove’ a negative.”
What you may genuinely (for all I know) believe you are “reasonably” asking for actually comes under the heading “impossible / unreasonable expectations”.
Download the PIOMAS data for yourself.
“Play around with it” using your favourite spreadsheet or statistical analysis software package.
Decide whether (or not) claims that the Arctic sea-ice’s “alarming decline” is accelerat-ing (present tense) are reasonable … or whether it fell from 1979 to 2010/1 and has remained roughly constant since then instead.
Again, which “people” are saying that “this” [ insert Bad Thing here ] “is” [ definitely, absolutely 100% guaranteed certain, honest guv’nor ] going to happen ?
A similar graph from “playing around with” the annual minimum extent data from NSIDC and JAXA, again comparing hysterical fear-mongering with reality.
Does this “help” ?
Scientistswarning.org LOL! is it April fools?
It’s not just the Arctic…
“The Earth is in a death spiral…” – George Monbiot
I suspect Bobby K has been playing y’all. (‘I read it somewhere…’ Hah!!)
As with Kerry, money and brains often are disconnected.
People with too much money do not need to use their brains to survive.
A fellow group of nutters, I see, is happy to destroy women’s netball in Australia, in their efforts to make a political point. Notice none of these people are prepared to engage in a peaceful, civil and intelligent debate on the issues with those who say there is no climate alarm and why not. They remind me of spoilt brats who have been unable to get their way and never been disciplined by indulgent parents.
If these protesters truly believed in stopping oil they would glue themselves to the gates of refineries operated by OPEC countries like Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, the UAE, etc.
Now that is a practical solution, Paul. They should take your advice.
“‘Let’s not forget that we’re talking about extinction,’ Ms. Getty
wrote in an email. ‘Don’t we have a responsibility to take every
means of trying to protect life on Earth?’
— Aileen Getty, Co-Founder and Board Member”

Since its founding in 2019, it’s:
• funded 91 organizations
• trained > 22k climate activists
• mobilized > 1M activists
• engaged 9M people

Yuri Bezmenov explains why the future of useful idiots may
not be what Aileen thinks it is:
Useful idiots should watch the first few minutes of that video.
*sigh* It wouldn’t do any good, though. They’re idiots.
Ms. Getty funded tomato soup on a Van Gogh and mashed potatoes on a Monet. I suggest she be made to fund the cleanup and future UK museum enhanced security.
I notice nobody hurled foodstuff at a Tracey Emin or a Damien Hirst where it might have actually improved the piece?
Tomatoes and potatoes? – Why don’t they throw any animal protein? — I’ll take it medium-rare with a nice glass of cabernet….
You need just enough money. Too much is toxic.
Helps if you earned the money rather than had it passed down from your grandfather.
The best way to just stop Just Stop Oil is to just stop oil immediately. For a while, just to see how those elitist liberal wokists cope without it.
How about this… we start a new organization called Just Remove Oil-based Clothing… and use scissors to clip away at any idiot glued to whatever, and burn the offensive clothing.
I’m sure we could get away with the burning part, but does anyone know if cutting off someone’s jacket (or whatever) is considered assault? How about removing shoes and socks? Could get interesting.
if cutting off someone’s jacket (or whatever) is considered assault … burn it in situ !!!
Whoa! That’s really harsh. They wouldn’t do it again, though.
Is that a case where the end justifies the means? I’m sure the XR crowd would understand that.
Aileen Getty remind me of the Winchester heiress (Sarah) who kept building rooms and staircases to nowhere in her mansion so the ghost of those killed by a Winchester couldn’t find her.
Sarah was nuts. Aileen is nuts. Neither displayed rational thought.
Gavin Governor HairGel Newsom is bought and paid for by the Getty family. His dad was the Getty’s attorney.
She needs to be held responsible every time one of those knuckleheads breaks the law.
