You make all of us office-bound climate activists proud. Wish I could do the same here in the States!

Can we ask how you all arrived at the protest, was it by car? If by car what fuel was in your tank?

The Banner you have used what is it made of? Where was it Made, and how was it delivered to you from the suppliers?

What resources have gone into the Banner, the 3G mobile camera phones and laptops you use to make your protest?

The white overalls what are they made of? Where were they bought and what will happen to them at the end – how will they be disposed of?

The coal you removed from the trains is now contaminated and therefore can not be used now you have dumped it over the rail line, plus there will have to be a clean up following your departure..

The cost of the police, the arrival of the police – no doubt they come in vehicles using fossil fuels, The police will no doubt be on overtime, will have to use vehicles using fossil fuels to get home.

You will be nicked, therefore more vehicles using fossil fuels to get you to court each time you appear, The court will have to be powered by the electricity you say you are against, to hold your court case featuring barristers, etc, who will have had to drive over to the court – more use of earth resources?

I guess you get the idea by now? it is the privileged middle class, not those in poverty, who are creating problems for this earth, you state you are against government but believe their lies and propaganda on climate change.

Is climate change the problem here?

Nothing was stopped!
The fires kept burning!

and the joke – there s railway strike for the next 3 days so the railway was stoppping anyway !

A great spectacle which got some news but there are other ways – once the message is publicised come down.

This turned into a bunch of “protestors” exercising their egos!
More ginger beer?

sweet action! folk in Newcastle, Australia (world’s biggest coal port) did a train action similar to this last year http://risingtide.org.au/coaltrainblockade

and are planning to do another during the Camp for Climate Action here in July… with a thousand or so people!

In Queensland (a state in Australia) – this action in punishable by life imprisonment. brutal. not that that’s stopping anyone… Queensland exports 230 million tonnes of coal per annum – and is rapidly expanding.

Well done – a well planned action, excellent. I think some people leaving comments here miss the point – the protest is aiming to get change on a grander scale. We won´t stop climate change if a few of us decide not to travel in cars (if only it was that easy!).

Instead, we need to completely change our energy infrastructure in the UK. And this is what protests like this are about. Congratulations, and count me in for next time!

[...] what a week it’s been. From stopping coal trains to occupying a proposed opencast site it seems like the ’summer of discontent’ is here [...]
