Hopefully the Shard stunt will awaken a few more people to the state of play with "Big Oil"... You've just said it, it was a "stunt" not a serious meaningful protest. It might have been for those individuals taking part, not to the rest of us. ID: 1402820 ·  |

There's always got to be one or two infantile silly quips. Sorry, but "silly" doesn't equate to "amusing". So your great achievement is other than adding to the trash on our planet is?...

Or poured Superglue onto the glass just ahead of them. Amusing, but in a different manner... Bob Smith Member of Seti PIPPS (Pluto is a Planet Protest Society) Somewhere in the (un)known Universe? ID: 1402663 · |

Shame someone didn't 'accidentally' open a window and knock one of them off. Would have made the day much more entertaining. Life on earth is the global equivalent of not storing things in the fridge.

I'm sure they said the same of Emmeline Pankhurst. Was not saying she had anything to do with Greenpeace. Was saying that comments like "It is a symbolic gesture and nothing else" were likely said when she was campaigning. The point was that there will always be naysayers of any protest, though they are not always correct in the estimation of the outcome of the protest. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

I'm sure they said the same of Emmeline Pankhurst. Perhaps you would like to explain to me, just what exactly Emmeline Pankhurst who was a Women's rights campaigner, has to do with Greenpeace who are campaigning about the environment? Perhaps you should have chucked in Emily Davison for good measure. Just because they were all women does not make your comment sustainable. ID: 1390134 · |

They made it, in true British Style: Shard climb protest: Greenpeace activists in custody ... At the summit of skyscraper two of them unfurled a blue flag with Save the Arctic written on it. The Shard is 1,016ft high (310m) and has 87 storeys. The women evaded security guards to begin their climb in the early morning. They said the protest was intended to put Shell and other oil companies in the spotlight and they live streamed the stunt. ... Looks like some good publicity for the Shard and its facilities also! (All in very stark contrast to the abusive punitive stance seen from the fossil fuels and power industries...)

It already has changed things... They are in the news and dragging the fossils along with them... I'm sure they said the same of Emmeline Pankhurst. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

It already has changed things... They are in the news and dragging the fossils along with them... Rubbish! It is a symbolic gesture and nothing else. They personally will go down in history as the ones that did it, and good luck to them. Meanwhile how much is it costing to to have the police, fire, and Ambulance on standby below? ID: 1389773 · |

Misguided women endangering their own lives, it won't change anything. It already has changed things... They are in the news and dragging the fossils along with them... I like their reasoning for the Shard being modeled after a shard of (melting) ice, and the location being in the centre of a number of fossils main offices. Hopefully good and thoughtful publicity all round. The Shard should gain some good publicity also depending on how they play their game. In contrast, I suspect EDF[*] are still blackened from their punitive very heavy handed arrogant bullying of the Nottinghamshire power station protestors... All on our only one planet, Martin * EDF lawsuit could have HUGE impact on peaceful protests Activists claim police siding with power company EDF in lawsuit Climate activists receive sentences for gas-fired power station occupation Sixteen activists get community service and five receive conditional discharges on aggravated trespass charges ... In March, after a public backlash, EDF abandoned a civil lawsuit seeking £5m in damages from the protesters. An online petition launched by the parents of one of the activists attracted 64,000 signatures, including those of Richard Dawkins, Mark Ruffalo, Naomi Klein and Noam Chomsky. Several hundred apparent EDF customers claimed they had switched their energy provider. EDF said it dropped the civil action as part of a settlement with the protesters, who agreed to accept a permanent injunction preventing them from entering EDF sites. ... All an example of the law being used and abused by whoever can affort the lawyers?
