The threat of global warming is so great that campaigners were justified in causing more than £35,000 worth of damage to a coal-fired power station, a jury decided yesterday.

The threat of Global Warming and Climate Change is the ONLY real threat we have to be concerned about, We all need to take personal responsibility for our OWN lives and the planet, and its great to see sooooo many people starting too. Real Change starts from the ground up, We are the Change, its WORKING. People all around the world are uniting for this cause, We need to save the Planet, its for real.
Hats off to those Judges, thx for posting Kevin.

In fact, it ought to be illegal to obey an unjust law.

It is worse than illegal to obey an unjust man-made law, its immoral and self-defeating Clever

On the surface I agree with your sentiments pseudonym, but it has always been that the devil's in the details. Who decides which side of the pendulum that justice lies on? It's somewhat easy if the choice of arbiters is between Gandhi & Hitler, but it's hardly ever that clear cut.

I certainly agree with the sentiments of the activists, also, but it seems that the activists might have used a less expensive method of making their point, though.
