A great man and a proper academic. Always made me think in new ways, which is the point of research.

So sad to hear of the passing of Prof Emeritus Stephen Salter. Stephen was a great colleague and one of the original inspiration to all in wave energy. May he RIP @EdinburghUni @IEA_OES @MaREIcentre @oceanenergy___ @OceanEnergyEU @WaveEnergyScot @EMEC_Ltd

@ChrisGPackham pulls no punches

[Just Stop Oil @JustStop_Oil]

Today, @ChrisGPackham is testifying at Isleworth Crown Court in support of Cressie, who is currently on trial for climbing on a gantry over the M25.

Before entering court today, Chris Packham spoke to the media:

“Because of Cressie, and other Just Stop Oil protesters, I sat sweating on the M25. Was I inconvenienced? Well, that’s a relative value. I was late to work, but my house was not burning down. I wasn’t drowning in a flood, displaced by famine, or separated from my family as a climate refugee. I was just sat on the M25, a position that I and millions of others find themselves in every single day of the year. Not because of protesters, but because our traffic system is broken, overloaded or stalled due to a breakdown or tragic accident.”

“So I used my ‘inconvenience’ for good… I imagined the motives of the protesters, why they were taking such a physical risk and further risking imprisonment. I imagined how scared they must have been hanging onto a gantry. I also thought about their message and how in a record breaking heat wave – with our government’s Net Zero policy not fit for purpose – they should be commended for sounding a vital alarm. I reconciled that my ‘inconvenience’ was entirely justified.”

“I am attending court to support Cressie Gethin because I don’t think she is getting a fair trial. I think, along with the UN, that the UK’s protest laws and sentencing of protesters are unjust, draconian, and in conflict with our basic human rights. I think we are witnesses to disproportionae vindictive witch hunts hell-bent on punishing some of the bravest individuals in society just because they are forced to struggle to tell the truth. These trials are shameful, demeaning, and undemocratic. I set a challenge to the judge, the prosecution, and their witnesses… go home and tell someone you know: a son, daughter, nephew or niece who is under 25 what you have done today and then ask them if they are proud of you’”.

To produce 1.5 million tonnes of salmon the Norwegian salmon farming industry needs 2 million tonnes of wild fish, nearly all caught off west Africa. That’s enough to feed 33 million people. The immorality of it is just breathtaking. https://t.co/oSpwSwf39r
