It’s a very sad day as a good friend and absolutely top bloke (who is in his 70s) has been sentenced to 26 months behind bars (for which he must serve 40%) and costs of £4380 for peacefully protesting to end new #fossilfuel projects.
He was denied all legal defences during the trial, including the statutory defence of ‘reasonable excuse’, as well as the defences of necessity, Articles 10 and 11 of the European Convention on #HumanRights, and implied consent.
The prosecution refused to agree to any facts on the #ClimateCrisis to be included in evidence.
He will also now lose his long held position as a Green councillor.
We’ve known for a long time that the world is fucked but this hurts.
Parks Canada has released a video on the importance of peatlands (and it just happens to include a shot of my daughter collecting peat samples for study).
In the rush to mine critical minerals in the Ring of Fire, that activity can potentially release a lot of carbon that has been stored for thousands of years. Hopefully the scientists, like my daughter, will be listened to in order to minimise the potential damage.
Just sayin'...

The two-week COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil, saw the largest global participation of Indigenous leaders in the conference’s history.
But sources say frustrations grew as negotiators failed to establish pathways for rapid climate finance for adaptation, loss and damage, or to create road maps for reversing deforestation and phasing out fossil fuels.

As the planet warms, wobbles in the atmospheric jet STREAM will lead to warmer warms and colder colds.
Eventually, the 'cold' will disappear leading to only 'warm' and 'warmer'

This is Mastodon so I pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir but remember...
Do NOT buy cut trees for Christmas.
Tree farms use pesticides and fertilizers and when disposed of cut trees produce a lot of CO2.
And there are plenty of other options beside plastic.
