It’s possible that I shall make an ass of myself. But in that case one can always get out of it with a little dialectic. I have, of course, so worded my proposition as to be right either way (K.Marx, Letter to F.Engels on the Indian Mutiny)

Climate campaigners arrested on suspicion of blocking roads or other offences are waiting up to six months in prison before being tried.
Josh Smith, a 29-year-old stonemason from Manchester, has been held on remand in HMP Peterborough for more than two months.
His court date is not set until 1 February, meaning he will have been incarcerated for half a year before any sentence may be imposed.
Smith, who is one of at least seven people being held long-term in prison awaiting trial, says the one positive about his position is that people seem more receptive to his message about the climate crisis.

Youth Rally for Climate in Toronto #GenClimateAction

On September 11, 2022, we held a rally in Toronto to support seven young Ontarians taking the Ford government to court over its weakened climate target.
Sophia, Zoe, Shaelyn, Alex, Shelby, Madi, and Beze — backed by Ecojustice lawyers — argued that the Ontario government’s dangerous approach to climate change has put the collective future of youth at risk.
Now we wait for the verdict.
Whatever happens, this case has already made legal history. It is the first climate lawsuit based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to reach a full hearing in any Canadian court. A victory could set a vital precedent for how governments across the country respond to the climate crisis.

STORY: Hundreds of demonstrators and environmentalists took the streets in their capital cities on Friday (September 23) to demand action on climate change, joining global protests as part of the student-led “Fridays for Future” movement.
In New Zealand, Green Party leader James Shaw told the crowd: "If anybody tells you that your voice doesn't count and that you're too young to make a difference, do not believe them. It is because of young people that we even have the Zero Carbon Act in this country, that's because of you and people like you all around the country."
Similar protests are set to be held in Britain and Brazil.
