Nah. Neither particles or penises.

The fair breeze blew the white foam flew the furrow followed free.
We were the first that ever burst onto that silent sea.
From the rime of the ancient mariner. Marvellous.

Enough with the penises. You're obsessed with the penises.

I think JSO have sort of got a point. Not because of climate change because we'll run out of oil long before that happens, but because any finite source should be used as sparingly as possible. Every day we use such a quantity of oil as took millions of years to be created and simple logic insists that this is not a pattern which can continue indefinitely. And no one knew that until this collection of odd-fellows started throwing orange paint around ? Evidently not to the point where anyone felt that anything needed to be done about it.

But spreading paint powder on Stone Henge isn't 'doing anything about it' is it.
As a kid at school, which was a frighteningly long time ago, we were taught about sustainability, and no orange paint powder was used.
But if it makes them feel better about themselves perhaps that's excuse enough.

Also the 'paint' they used was very corny. An oil based paint would have been more effective I suspect. Anyway I laughed. Cornflour - corny. Oil based paint obvious funny given the situation !

I always think the anti-vivisection mob must have a hard time if they are pro testing.

JSO should shift their protests to China, India, Brazil and Indonesia. Anywhere, where they could possibly make a measurable difference.

Rog It's just what's needed now and is equally entirely possible. Eg Stop investing in bitcoin because of the carbon footprint of the bitcoin mining. Mind you controlling greed will be hard.

Quite simply it is a finite source and there is almost certainly less than 100 years' worth left. We will have used up a resource which took billions of years to form in 300 years. Then Mother Nature will start forming more oil, aided hugely by the O/CO2 balance returning to levels found billions of years ago, in which human life is not possible.

Rog It is possible to drastically curtail the use of oil; for example the tech to produce an engine using ceramic bearings which do not require lubrication already exists, and as already mentioned, the use of plastics in food production could be eliminated entirely. If anybody cared enough.
