Radical climate activist Andreas Malm endorsed blowing up pipelines in a recent interview, acknowledging that accidents and deaths could occur as a result. Malm, known for his book "How to Blow Up a Pipeline," defended the use of sabotage on a larger scale, despite admitting to participating in illegal and militant actions himself. He argued for the use of violence as a response to overthrowing a violent system and expressed concerns about the climate crisis exacerbating desperation within the movement. Malm emphasized that his aim is violence against property, not people, and raised questions about the climate movement's response to a potential Trump victory in the 2024 election.

The Controversial Film "How to Blow Up a Pipeline": A Review Roundup.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Roger Ebert

"How to Blow Up a Pipeline" is a thought-provoking American thriller that follows a group of young American self-described "terrorists" trying to blow up a Texas oil pipeline to protest an array of social ills. Directed and co-written by Daniel Goldhaber, the film adapts and reimagines a same-titled non-fiction book by Andreas Malm. The film's tone, pacing, and construction evoke classic thrillers from the '70s and '80s, and the characters are written in a clear, goal-directed way. The film is comfortable depicting these kinds of characters in a way that lets the audience decide how to feel about them.
