On the roof with the climbers
“It’s very windy up here…” the voice tails off on the phone as the gusts pick up.
The climbing team are unfurling their 36 metre long banner from the roof of the coal washery - reading “Coal: the black hole in UK climate policy.” Don’t try this at home, should you happen to live in a coal washery - the team is made up of skilled roped access professionals. Being up so high gives them an amazing view of the devestation that’s caused as the coal is ripped out of the ground. One of the team texted from the roof: “This is not land reclamation, this is take what you want and get out, leaving a black hole in the landscape.”
