Ecocide...
Oct 15, 2011

The following news from Nr 10 reminds me of Ecocide..."The UK Government today granted BP and its partners — Shell, ConocoPhillips and Chevron — approval to proceed with the £4.5 billion Clair Ridge project, the second phase of development of the giant Clair field, west of the Shetland Islands."


So we're in severe financially straightened times but we still have £4.5 BILLION to give away to ruin our planet?! How about trying more win-win solution for economy and planet by investing this in green energy/ jobs? (oh sorry, I forgot about oil lobbying who would lose...) .... the press release says "Clair Ridge project will create hundreds of jobs over the next five years and produce a vital source of domestic oil until around 2050" ... investing £4.5bn in renewable energy will create *more* than hundreds of jobs and provide energy security forever...        


Check out this mock trial on ecocide (geocide of the environment/ crimes against the planet)... food for thought!
