Todayβs climate activist βcriminalsβ are tomorrowβs heroes: silencing them in court is immoral | George Monbiot
Itβs not βthe whole truth and nothing but the truthβ if campaigners cannot explain their motivations to a jury, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

here are two extraordinary facts about the convention on biological diversity, whose members are meeting in Montreal now to discuss the global ecological crisis. The first is that, of the worldβs 198 states, 196 are party to it. The second is the identity of those that arenβt. Take a guess. North Korea? Russia? Wrong. Both ratified the convention years ago. One is the Holy See (the Vatican). The other is the United States of America. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/dec/09/us-world-climate-collapse-nations

While others play by the rules, the most powerful nation refuse, the countries you may expect to lead the way, USA and Vatican.

The chances of any one person being born were calculated by the life coach Dr Ali Binazir. He multiplied the probability of your parents meeting, mating and conceiving by the chances of a particular sperm and egg fusing; of all your human and hominid ancestors reaching reproductive age; and of all them successfully reproducing. He arrived at a figure of one in 10 to the power of 2,640,000. In other words, a 10 followed by 2.6m zeros. Itβs an unimaginable, miraculous number. Yet here we are. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/nov/18/leaders-climate-breakdown-fail-power-cop27

"We know...that they need invest only a fraction of this money in politics to buy every politician and every political decision they need. We know that the easiest way for a politician to secure power is to appease those who already possess it, those whose power transcends elections..."

The talks and conferences continue with no intent to take any sensible actions.

with every passing week, it looks more like a cover-up. The repeated mass strandings of crabs and lobsters on the coast of north-east England, and the ever less plausible explanations provided by the government, are the outward signs of an undersea disaster and a grim new politics. Last October, beaches around the Tees estuary and along the coast of North Yorkshire were suddenly covered in dead and dying crabs and lobsters. The government launched what it called an βinvestigationβ. In January, hundreds of dogs reportedly fell ill after being walked on the same beaches. In February, a government press release announced that the mass death of sea creatures was caused by an βalgal bloomβ β a rapid increase in the population of algae that can release toxins into the water and affect other wildlife. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jun/06/dead-shellfish-beaches-safety-secrecy-britain

This powerful film follows British journalist, George Monbiot, as he sets out deliberately to get arrested to draw attention to governmental inaction over climate change. The film explores his story, his motivations and why this unlikely hero is putting himself on the frontline of environmental activism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZa4ukPcSoI&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop

Very unfortunate that their actions are criminalized today.
