Why is Hollywood funding Just Stop Oil?

It will surprise no-one to learn that there is a trail of money which leads from climate protesters and their pranks in Britain back to the self-satisfied celebs of Hollywood. It will come as a greater – and possibly happier – revelation that this particular source of money appears to be drying up fast. If you want to know who was paying for Insulate Britain to block motorways during September 2021 and March 2022 you need look no further than the website of the Climate Emergency Fund, a charitable organisation based in West Hollywood and run by a bunch of film directors and actors including Adam McKay – who made the film Don’t Look Up – actor Jeremy Strong and funded by Abigail Disney. It claims that it provided 93 per cent of the $175,000 spent by Insulate Britain during its six-month existence.

The organisation boasts of providing enlightened individuals with a ‘safe, legal and tax-deductible’ way of donating to a global network of disruptive protest groups.
