calling on all those outraged at the prospect of climate collapse and suffering from the cost-of-living crisis to stand with us,\u201d Just Stop Oil declared in a statement \u2014 although Prime Minister Boris Johnson\u2019s government has not actually made opening new oil and gas fields or especially fracking for shale gas especially easy, given its leftist climate policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrdinary people can no longer afford oil and gas, it\u2019s time to just stop oil,\u201d the group added \u2014 failing to explain how abruptly removing oil from the energy
