Climate-defense V rioting, UK sentencing

The UK sentenced a peaceful climate defender to a longer prison term than a violent right-wing rioter.

There is a perverse kind of logic that perhaps the judges used, although if so they would not want to admit it.

The right-wing rioters may have been carried away with rage stimulated by disinformation. In a year, this phase may have passed and he might become harmless.

By contrast, the leaders of Just Stop Oil have thought long and hard about the danger of climate disaster and the importance of preventing it. It won't be easy to convince them to give up, with so much at stake.

I think that the climate defenders should be rewarded, not punished.

Arguing that the right-wing rioters should be charged with terrorism.
