Climate protestor claims: ‘The physical act of putting greenhouse gases into the air…is a crime – the greatest crime in human history’

A climate protester ignored a judge’s instructions and refused to leave the witness box, instead delivering an hours-long speech telling jurors that his alleged role in a conspiracy to block the M25 was justified by the risk of human extinction.

Roger Hallam, 58, spoke for more than two hours on why a judge was wrong to rule that he and co-defendants could not bring evidence in their defence on the impacts of climate breakdown, and why such evidence justified the sort of acts of which they are accused.

The judge Christopher Hehir sent out the jury three times during Hallam’s extended address and interrupted Hallam many times to make clear it was not his place to instruct jurors on points of law.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The greatest crime is lunatic zealots such as he being allowed to run free. *****rollingeyes*****
