As many of you know, I have a special affinity for grassroots anti-authoritarian climate activists in Australia. Good on ya, mates!
Friends of the Earth Melbourne lock-down and walk onto the Hazelwood Power Station in Victoria, Australia.
The worldwide escalation against Big Coal is continuing.
Not only are NGO’s like Greenpeace Australia-Pacific escalating against coal down under, but so are grassroots networks like Rising Tide and Friends of the Earth.
Australia is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases per capita in the world, exports a lot of coal and is harshly impacted by the global warming (water scarcity, bushfires, extreme weather, lots more) according to the Stern Report.
It makes sense that direct action-istas are targeting operating coal plants and that resistance is fierce to the fossil fools.
