Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been found guilty by a Swedish court of disobeying a police order at a protest in Malmo last month.
The 20-year-old avoided a potential prison sentence and has been fined. She pleaded not guilty and told the court: "My actions are justifiable," according to the Sydsvenskan newspaper.
Greta was charged because she refused to comply with police orders to leave the scene during the protest, according to Swedish Prosecution Authority spokeswoman Annika Collin and a statement from prosecutors.
When the protestors were ordered to move to allow vehicles to pass, Greta was among those who refused. She was then dragged away by police.
Earlier in the year, the climate activist was briefly detained by police in Oslo during a protest against wind farms built on Indigenous land in Norway. She was also detained during protests against the demolition of the coal village of Luetzerath in Germany in January.
fuck there's some wild tinfoil hatter stories getting around on the maui fires being a "direct energy attack" whilst these idiots are happy to live in denial about climate change...
"Another day of countrywide protest against starvation pensions and for decent conditions for pensioners under the Iran-regime, this time with particular focus on retired teachers.
Here's two arbitrary videos from an event in Saneh/Sine/Sanandaj of Rojhelat/NW Iran, out of several others."
"The habitat-defense movement "Les Soulèvements de la Terre" (Earth's Uprisings) could indeed not be dissolved ruled the Supreme Administrative Court (Conseil d'État) of France, halting the Capitalism-extremist Macron-government's dissolution decree and the matter is to be reevaluated on its merits probably sometime during autumn.

I did not find reporting about the suspension of dissolution in English, whilst many major news-media reported in English on the dissolution decree being issued.
Meanwhile, since the dictatorial Macron and gang made their decree, using a law not intended for that purpose, the world has set record after record in climate extinction acceleration,
but when the King prefers pals' profits to people's existence, reality does not matter in their palaces.

Research by the international charity found that the investments of just 125 billionaires emit 393 million tonnes of CO2 each year, equivalent to the yearly emissions of 85 million cars.
"Most 11-year-old kids know that darker colors absorb heat and lighter colors do not. It's simple basic science. Nearly everyone has experienced the practical effect in daily life.
So, what will happen when a very very large portion of ice, which is mostly white, melts and reveals dark ocean water below? Things get hotter, right?
Yes, absolutely correct. And that's what is taking place right now in the waters around the South Pole.
"Antarctica is missing an Argentina-sized amount of sea ice – and scientists are scrambling to figure out why"
A huge amount of heat that was previously reflected back into space by the missing sea ice is now instead being absorbed by the Southern Ocean. It's a self-reinforcing feedback loop that results in further sea ice loss, in turn further speeding up the temperature rise and melting more ice, ad infinitum."
