Per the activists:

The finance and insurance sectors of the economy have the power to make a significant difference. Without funding or insurance, fossil fuel companies cannot continue to operate or expand. Banks and insurance companies have clients other than fossil fuel extractors, they can continue to exist without this custom and so our demands aren’t unreasonable.

Banks and insurers have responded to campaigners’ demands by taking the tiniest of steps, however there is a serious discrepancy between what they are doing and what they must do in order to prevent catastrophic levels of global warming.

Now we are escalating to demonstrate that we – the public – will not accept this institutional and corporate support for climate breakdown.

    That depends a fair bit on how corporate networks are set up. It’s very easy to have a central authentication server that the base station can’t reach anymore, so nobody can connect to the corporate wifi.

      I hope big banks can at least manage to have redundant networking between their sites if they are set up like that.

      But the AP is still broadcasting so the WiFi never left it just won’t provide data. Previous post is poking fun at bad journalism and oversimplifying the facts of the story. They cut data lines.
