Kingsnorth trial day six: the summing up | Greenpeace UK
Much of the prosecution's case focused on the consequences of the jury's verdict. If the jury provides the defendants with a lawful excuse, "where does that leave the rest of us? You've heard, he told the jury, that every ounce of carbon dioxide is capable of causing damage. "Where does that leave your motorcar? What of the old lady who lights a coal fire - is her chimney fair game?"

If our law is to protect the property of that old lady, he argued, then it must protect also the property "even of a German power company that makes large profits". These defendants are guilty of criminal damage not because their motives were false or their actions morally repellant, but "for the very simple, mundane and bland reason" that they broke the law.

…is the one killed on sight!

No, seriously, it is quite fun to watch the increasing efforts in dreaming up one way or another to cool down the planet before it actually become warm enough to cause any concern. I sure everybody in that field good luck, and who knows if anything useful will come out of sheer serendipity.

There is one single point though that I find it impossible to do without. We do know almost nothing about our planet, its atmosphere and its climate, There must therefore be a basic rule for all geoengineering implementations: allow only those that can be turned on and off wholly, and at will.

That is, they must be REVERSIBLE.

All of this manipulation and social engineering is necessary, you understand, because we’re facing a “crisis.” The environmental “crisis” is the mother lode of guilt-tripping; if it is successful — if people can be made to accept the unprovable theory that humankind, not nature, is responsible for “climate change” — then the tentacles of the nanny state will be able to reach into every aspect of every life, from how one may heat or cool one’s home to how many children one may bear. It will be a necessary intrusion, meant to save the planet. For the children you should not have.
