How about the police and the courts doing their duty. 1980 Highways act. c. 66 Part IX Obstruction of highways and... 137. Penalty for wilful obstruction. (1) If a person, without lawful authority or excuse, in any way wilfully obstructs the free passage along a highway he is guilty of an offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 51 weeks or a fine or both. WE do not see any more of this, or worse. Just Stop Oil protests: Police officer hurt amid M25 disruption |

What continued madness is this?...

COP27: The Namibia-Botswana oil project being called a sin wrote: ... In the Southern African country of Botswana lies one of the largest inland deltas in the world, a landscape the UN has called "exceptional" and "rare" in its beauty... "... actions so far have been inadequate.", "... a carousel of madness...", "... a wealth of oil and gas..." Indeed, what madness is this?... How do we cure the madness so that we can enjoy our planet, "exceptional" and "rare" in its beauty? All on our only one planet...

... WE do not [want] see any more of this... Well... These people look to be very much more genuine and personally motivated and caring. Vastly more so than that for what we see from the fossil fuels polluters wreaking their greedy profitable wrecking of vastly greater disruption: Times Radio - Just Stop Oil threaten more disruption You don't get interviews like that from the coal and oil industries. Where do we go from here? Note: All on our only one planet. Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Pollution...? What's that??... Wasted methane gas 'a scandal' wrote: The UK government is allowing the fossil fuel industry to waste large amounts of gas ... oil and gas companies are wasting enough methane to power more than 700,000 UK homes. The continuing problem here is that the oil industry has no costs to what volume of the Earth's resources that they squander and waste. Worse still, there are no costs to their business for causing reckless pollution... All on our only one planet...

Really?... Canada: Ambassador tells EU that deforestation rules 'burdensome' wrote: Canada's ambassador to the European Union has voiced concern with proposed EU rules to curb deforestation.

Oil giant TotalEnergies to cut North Sea investment over windfall tax wrote: French oil giant TotalEnergies has said it will cut North Sea investment by 25% next year after the windfall tax on oil and gas firms in the UK was extended...

As our own slow moving flood seas continue on their agonising slow way down to S.A. others are suffering much worse. Landslide in Colombia kills three people, traps 20, as La Niña wreaks more havoc. Meanwhile up in tropical Darwin. Darwin heat stings as parts of city still without shade trees years after Cyclone Marcus ripped through. I reckon that Mother Nature is getting angry at us. |

Make of this as you will. North America's grasslands are suffering from a billion-dollar plague, trees. We'd love a lot more trees across our dust bowls here. |

So you think we can go green by going down the clean energy and electric vehicles path, well maybe you might have a different view if you watch this, Mineral exploration, Future Metal Needs, and Opposition to Mining in Europe |

How can this be...? Shell to pay UK tax for first time in five years wrote: ... Oil and gas prices began to rise after the end of Covid lockdowns but surged after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, resulting in bumper profits for energy companies including the likes of Shell and BP in 2022...
