Might be a false flag, might be stupid people, might be mislead people.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Attacking public infrastructure is how you get private infrastructure.
Or maybe target better, what if it cut power to ai data centers.
In America, our attacks on the grid are done by the right wing. It's strange how different we are, yet similar.
i'm going to call them ... hmm oh i know
Climate Action
i wonder what will become of them
although i agree with you this is much more likely a gang hired by russians through telegram
As with the Hamas attack on October 7th and Al Qaeda's on 9/11, as with John Brown's murder or slave owners on the eve of the US civil war, as with the Indian independence movement outside of Gandhi, as with suffragette terror bombings in the early 20th century, as with unionist terror bombings in Europe in the 19th century, it's important to put terrorism in the context of the times.
Terrorism is bad, but it usually only exists in the context of far greater evils. Genocide, imperialism, colonialism, slavery, child labor, systeming oppression of women, and yes, climate change.
Of all of these, climate change will be the most deadly (though colonialism probably still has it beat for genocide). Entire nations are already being wiped off the map, and dozens more will follow. Hundreds of millions will die violently, with the people of Berlin as a group killing thousands of them though their present-day emissions.
In that context, focusing on condemning a couple of radicals who didn't even kill anyone is denying the gravity of the situation.
Every terrorist group was condemned at the time of the events. Many are now considered good in the eyes of history, and most of those have had their actions whitewashed by educational institutes dedicated to the status quo, or have had their results attributed to their pacifist compatriots.
I'm not saying anyone should engage in violence. There are plenty of people who need no encouragement if only you stop condemning and sanctioning them. Diversity of tactics has historically almost always been more effective than pacifism. So let us do our best in the way we like and let them do their best in the way they like.
And before anyone cites Chenoweth at me, read their paper and their later comments about how the paper is being misused to argue for pacifism. Then if you're surprised, maybe add Gelderloos' The Failure of Nonviolence to your reading list.
This was a singularly stupid choice of target if it was an actual left-wing group and not a bunch of Russian assets. Doubly so if a climate group โ we want to move home heating from fossil fuels to electricity, and this kind of attack makes it harder.
There's a reason it was mostly Nazis attacking substations in the US a couple years ago
Smells like russia
How hard would it be to fly a drone into an aircraft engine and take out a private jet? Honest question, not that I'm planning on doing it tomorrow or anything, I just don't know much about drones or aircraft. I'm guessing it's pretty hard to do, otherwise it would have been done by now.
On the ground? Easy, on the air It'd be pretty hard trying to keep up with them unless you had a rocket propelled drone or something based for speed, and you'd probably get one chance before it's past you.

You'd ideally want something explosive with shrapnel so proximity is less of a concern.
I think rocket propelled drones are called missiles.
The video is literally a quadcopter FPV drone with a rocket engine.
Missiles would typically have a warhead.
Birds do a great job of disabling planes and they don't have warheads, so YMMV I suppose.
Has anyone found the letter from Vulkangruppe? I'd like to have a little read.
Protests over climate crisis, sets fire to things.
Fucking geniuses.
