The motivations are clear as day, this is a threat and it is a purposefully poorly concealed one.

"My immediate reaction was to say, ‘I don't talk with the FBI,’” Neill said. The man said, “OK,” and Neill shut the door. Two other activists described similar visits in interviews with WBUR.
This guy is my hero. :)

It's as if the powers that be think the only path to a fossil fuel free future is terrorism. So they treat climate activists as terrorists.
-
I don't like CEO's and board members being called "the powers that be", because they're the ones demanding this.
And they treat them that way,b ecause they know they're right. They don't want to spend money to make more money by diversifying or investing in new technology. They just want more money right now at the cost of the earth and human lives.

I do not see the point, just do not talk to them.

I swear, we have got to be the dumbest goddamn species in existence. We have a beautiful thriving planet, and are actively trying to silence the people trying to save it, all the while cheering on fake increasingly volatile paper money schemes, and we call it the economy. We have one fucking planet, no plan B, and they think they're cool intimidating people for not wanting to be boiled alive.
Given that it's almost exclusively the wealthy that own yachts, I'll take some unexpected nautical allies.
Ironically it's the typical rich countries you'd see statistics of doing most environment damage
From The Cool Down, AUKUS being the usual ones (i'm not going to mention the obvious ones like Saudi Arabia because it's not news they crackdown on protests in general). There's an interesting article "COP29: repression epidemic regarding climate activists and human rights defenders" from last year by Climate Network worthy a read regarding that.
I'd not be surprised multiple scrutiny attempts aimed (including from bot farms) at climate activists on social media to be financed by those said countries and oil companies at this point
