It adds nothing, clearing a piece of grass that size. Not in any way a noticeable amount of CO2 added. They do plant trees actually, and the march I attended included a mass tree planting, which was then removed by police. Is there anything to be said for another mass- tree planting? There are more upcoming I believe! check their website: rebellion.earth/act-now/events/

Well done every little helps as in the same way everyone polluting adds to the problem simple. Every little doesn't really help though, because every little I do makes no difference to almost all emissions on earth which are caused by large companies, who will continue to do so unless forced to change. You won't stop individuals buying cars, but you might force companies to build them more sustainably or stop lying about emissions in tests if you regulate them properly. Tell that Toytoa when they build a Toyota Prius…..the carbon footprint left behind by t hat in the production process far far outwieghs anything non-hybrid…. And they say its good for the environment !!!!!!!!!!

www.cambs.police.uk/news-and-appeals/Arrest-made-following-Trinity-College-incidenA ridiculous explanation by the Police in the video below. It literally means that anyone taking part in a legitimate protest can block the highway. What he says is based upon half of Article 10 of the UNCHR as embedded in the Human RightsAct 1988...BUT ignores the second half and Article11. It's common sense that if there is an unnecessary and easily removal obstruction to people going about their normal and usual daily business, then that obstruction should be removed. The Cambridge Police ( and/ or the advisers) have set a stupid precedent. ARTICLE 10 Freedom of expression 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of expression. This right shall include freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart information and ideas without interference by public authority and regardless of frontiers. This Article shall not prevent States from requiring the licensing of broadcasting, television or cinema enterprises. 2. The exercise of these freedoms, since it carries with it duties and responsibilities, may be subject to such formalities, conditions, restrictions or penalties as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, for the protection of the reputation or rights of others, for preventing the disclosure of information received in confidence, or for maintaining the authority and impartiality of the judiciary. ARTICLE 11 Freedom of assembly and association 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests. 2. No restrictions shall be placed on the exercise of these rights other than such as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. This Article shall not prevent the imposition of lawful restrictions on the exercise of these rights by members of the armed forces, of the police or of the administration of the State.

Well done Cost to the tax payer??? I’ve read two reports on this so far, and neither has mentioned “Extinction Rebellion”. Friends of the Earth, and Greenpeace have been mentioned. And there was me thinking that their traditional methods of protest didn’t work. Regardless of all that, I’m pleased to see that decision no matter who tries to take the credit for it.

How petty again,who do you think make up extension rebellion ffs. I don’t actually understand your question. I don’t think anyone has ‘made them up’. I accept they exist as a group but believe their methods turn people away from their cause. Is that what you mean? I could ask you the same question back…. Who do you think make up extension rebellion? Perhaps your answer might enlighten me.

Heathrow will go ahead. www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-51658693Heathrow said it would challenge the court's decision at the Supreme Court, saying it was "confident that we will be successful". "In the meantime, we are ready to work with the government to fix the issue that the court has raised," a Heathrow spokesperson said. "Expanding Heathrow, Britain's biggest port and only hub, is essential to achieving the Prime Minister's vision of global Britain. We will get it done the right way, without jeopardising the planet's future." If it doesn't happen here it will be France's gain according to news reports.

Hard to see how it can progress without their support. Interesting.

They have proffered a conciliatory tone and offered to address the issues raised in court. Interestingly aren't the Scottish Parliament firmly behind Heathrow expansion?

Hard to see industry having much appetite without enthusiastic Government backing. They were backing it - but they’d be very relaxed about reversing that position. The cynic in me wonders how much the upcoming COP26 conference might be playing into the Goverment’s current position and they’ve taken this opportunity to demonstrate their green credentials, after all this decision could be reversed after the conference.

How would you go about solving the climate emergency? Assuming you think there is one I don't think there is an "emergency". But if you want a greener planet you have to talk to China and India etc. They plan about 300-400 airports over the next few decades. Western consumerism fuels China's industrial waste. Hydrogen power.
