stress how important this case is. Beyond taking care of our activists
who are facing serious repercussions – this case could set ground
breaking precedent for the climate change struggle. If the court sides

warranted due to the greater crime of  climate destruction – this has
MAJOR implications internationally (both legally, as well as

scientist), Zac Goldsmith (former editor of Ecologist Mag – and adviser
to the Tory Party on environment) and more scientists all are testifying
on behalf of Greenpeace is very telling!
