Pathetic turnout for UK climate hoax "day of action"

Climate Camp day of action – live | Environment | guardian.co.uk

Here's a snap from the protest outside the energy of Forth Energy in Leith docks, where activists apparently occupied the building before chaining themselves outside.
The event looks pretty small scale from the snaps I've seen so far.
Five people have been arrested in Leith, but it's uncertain whether these are the people who have been detained.
There's more photos from the demonstration – mostly showing the activists looking very wet and miserable – on calvinsimages' photostream on Flickr.

Severin Carrell writes that some of the activists found themselves unwelcome when disrupting an event at the Edinburgh book festival yesterday:
Four climate protesters disrupted a talk at the festival by the Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, a noted critic of globalisation and modern banking, only to be barracked by the audience with cries of "out, out, out".
