The wackiness of environmentalists continues to assert itself as protesters broke into and scaled the chimney of the Didcot power station. The protesters who met at climate camp decided to band together for an all out assault on manmade climate change. They’ve even pitched a tent on top of the chimney and say they’re prepared to stay for weeks.
Nine environmentalist wackos are on top of the chimney at Didcot while thirteen others have been arrested already. The protesters are in contempt of court because they are in violation of a court injunction. Two of the geniuses attend Oxford University. That’s money well spent by their parents, isn’t it? From the UK Guardian:
“They have been served an injunction but are refusing to come down and are therefore in contempt of court,” said a spokesman for the protesters. He added that the injunctions forbade them from entering Oxfordshire. The protesters say they plan to stay up the chimney for a week.
The protesters are all happy and bubbly because they forced the power plant to switch from coal to gas while their nutty little selves are up the chimney. Isn’t that what life’s all about? Small victories that you can look back on and tell your kids about; remember when we stopped that coal plant from burning coal for about 3 days? That’s why we’re still here 30 years later, we saved the world that week.
When all is said and done the Didcot protesters will come down, be arrested and go back to their unhappy existence in this cruel, cruel world. At the same time, Didcot will fire the coal burners back up. Disaster averted.
