Globalwarmania

Last year, Greenpeace protesters attempted to paint the name "Gordon Brown" on a U.K. coal plant's chimney. They got as far as printing "Gordon" before being stopped by authorities. It cost over $50,000 to remove "Gordon" from the chimney.

A U.K. jury recently decided that the threat of global warming was so great (and, presumably, so imminent) that Greenpeace activists were justified in defacing the chimney.

I'm not sure what to do with this one.

Britain is ground-zero of the development, if not birth, of western civilization. The Anglosphere is the most powerful, influential culture on the planet. Parliament. Common Law. The English Language. Innumerable inventions that have improved the lives and increased the happiness of mankind.

Great Britain is also a nation that has turned from God. It is suffering the social and cultural consequences. Perhaps this can explain this latest report from the U.K.'s Independent (http://www.independent.co.uk/). Or, perhaps we should just file this one under the left-wing's taste for lawlessness.

"Jurors accepted defence arguments that the six had a "lawful excuse" to damage property at Kingsnorth power station in Kent to prevent even greater damage caused by climate change. The defence of "lawful excuse" under the Criminal Damage Act 1971 allows damage to be caused to property to prevent even greater damage – such as breaking down the door of a burning house to tackle a fire."

The mad not-guilty verdict was greeted with cheers in the courtroom.

Meanwhile, Greenpeace ("we put the 'War' in Global Warming") celebrated this great advance for mankind with the following statement: "This verdict marks a tipping point for the climate change movement."

Indeed. Into mania and lawlessness.

I hope, when these Greenpeacers are shivering in the dark because the coal plants have been shut down, they don't complain. Come to think of it, nothing is stopping them from eschewing all oil and coal heating and electricity generation. Let's see them do without electricity and coal and oil generated heat.

Then, they would have my respect.
