We aren't going to make a unified global push towards true 'carbon neutrality' until our hand is forced. It's far too convenient living the way we currently do. I reckon we're far more likely to adapt to the current climate than we are in trying to enact any major change in our consumption of fossil fuels. Especially considering that crude oil is vital in the manufacture of just about every single mass-produced item on the planet.
How do we 'stop oil' exactly, when it involves completely overhauling the petrochemical industry and coming up with completely new methods of producing the vital medicines, composite materials and electronic components that we utterly rely on to continue existing as a species?
And more importantly, how exactly are these JSO fuckwits helping matters?

Not that it matters, though. I don't imagine that the majority of people supporting the JSO movement have really considered the implications. May as well call it 'Just Stop Cars', or 'Just Stop Chimneys'. Would likely be a more accurate representation of their objectives.

Plus, the people trying to stop the boat crossings haven't yet felt the apparent need to glue themselves to the M6 or flounce about on Snooker Tables. I suspect the majority of the complaints are in response to that behaviour, and not the questionable nomenclature of their organisation.

A militant/disruptive approach isn't going to attract people with good faith in the cause. It's simply going to attract people that are excited about being militant and disruptive.
We're living in an era where literally anybody can go online and preach about whatever cause or message they like. The key is attracting the right audience (in this case, people who perhaps don't live as environmentally responsibly as they could).
When these JSO twats show up and cause a scene, what exactly is the message? Who is watching that shit and thinking "Fuck, I better sell my grotesquely oversized 4x4 and purchase something more appropriate?". These kinds of scenes certainly aren't going to spur the government into action - unless the action is limiting powers of protest even further than they have already.
Extol the virtues of cleaner, greener living. Make a case for the change not only being positive for the wider environment, but attractive on an individual level. You're never going to change the world, but if you can win two people over, and they do the same, you've already started a far better change than gluing yourself to the local motorway ever would. People are selfish, and are far more likely to be receptive to how taking action might benefit them in the short-term rather than how it might benefit the planet in the long-term. Who's installing heat pumps and solar panels primarily because it's good for the environment, and who's doing it primarily because it's good for their wallet?

Everyone already knows green living would be better, but we've missed lots of opportunities due to oil's PR $$$ and leaders who don't give a fuck.
I assume part of their aim is to simply try and make people sense their panic. Can't see it working, but I've a lot of sympathy for them.

Anyone sincere about reducing global CO2 emissions would not use it. They especially would not use it for frivolous purposes like, for example, a newsletter with a couple of message boards attached which is barely a forum. Anyone who complains on a newsletter with a couple of message boards attached which is barely a forum about global CO2 emissions is, at least partly, a hypocrite.

do you think using the internet uses no energy? The exact percentage is meaningless, the source of the exact percentage is equally meaningless. using the internet to moan about CO2 burden is hypocritical because it adds.to excess CO2 in the atmosphere. The smaller the audience, the worse the hypocrisy.

Generation of dead flies
Dead flies were generated using starvation. Briefly, approximately 30 Canton S flies (of both sexes and 1 to 2 weeks of age) were placed into vials that contained 2% agar + 0.3% Tegosept media. The flies were placed in an 25°C incubator with 12:12 h light-dark cycles. Dead flies used for the dead-exposed treatments were collected for experimental use within 3 days of their death (termed “freshly dead”).
