This is a corporate attempt to put an end to climate protest and *particularly* to Indigenous led climate protest. Massive 1A assault. Pretty shocking that our little outlet was one of maybe 3 or 4 that had a reporter there every day of the trial (one of the others was a fake newspaper 🙃)
Verdict in on energy transfer v greenpeace.
Jury found Greenpeace Inc guilty on almost all counts. ET lawyer estimated total damages for Inc, Fund and International around $700 million. (Total still to be confirmed)

He called coal, oil and gas corporations the “godfathers of climate chaos” who had distorted the truth and deceived the public for decades.
