☆ Just Stop Oil: UK court sentences climate activists to prison for 4-5 years over highway protest

CNN —Five activists of the Just Stop Oil environmental campaign have been handed prison sentences for their involvement in organizing protests that blocked a major London highway in 2022, PA media reported, sparking a wave of criticism from climate advocates. Hallam was sentenced to five years’ imprisonment while the remaining four defendants were each handed four years in prison each. ‘Obscene perversion of justice’The sentences have drawn criticism from environmental agencies and scientists. The judge’s characterisation of climate breakdown as a matter of opinion and belief is completely nonsensical and demonstrates extraordinary ignorance.

☆ Singapore to expand ocean CO2 removal project as scientists call for more research

A view shows the interior of Equatic's pilot ocean carbon removal project at the Tuas Desalination Plant in western Singapore, August 30, 2023. As scientists call for more research into ocean carbon dioxide removal (OCDR), Singapore's Public Utilities Board (PUB) has built a plant that uses electricity to extract CO2 from seawater, allowing it to absorb more greenhouse gas from the atmosphere when it is pumped back out into the ocean. At the plant, seawater is run through an electrolyser, which converts dissolved CO2 into calcium carbonate and produces hydrogen. On Tuesday, more than 200 scientists said in an open letter that OCDR research should be prioritised not only to maximise its potential, but also head off potential risks. But billions of tons of CO2 need to be removed from the atmosphere, and more investment in OCDR research was needed urgently, he said.
