Stonehenge vandalized by anti-oil extremists

[4WD]

They're nothing more than narcissists hiding behind a "cause" so they can see their ugly mugs in the news. I'd jail them for a couple years.

Those two offenders must be so proud of their contribution to society.

wonder if they realize that the only thing that will remove their mess is a petrolium product?

I guess for those that believe that the extremely rapid rise in global temperatures, is caused by burning fossil fuels. And then they look forward 100 years to what the likely effects of much higher CO2 concentrations and global temperatures are predicted to cause, especially in the worse case scenarios... We are pretty lucky they are just doing graffiti at this point.

Personally I'm pretty sure we (as a planet) are taking a very large risk in not reducing greenhouse gasses significantly. I am glad some people have the guts to attract attention to it, although it would be much better to paint some shell/exxon/etc. office buildings or something related to the industry...

Where do you work and how are you making life better in poor countries?

What does Stonehenge have to do with oil??

Nothing, but its a sure way to get some attention! I agree there's better ways to do it though. Stonehenge was unfenced until the late 70's though, so its not pristine rocks from 2000BC.... Its got more names and hearts carved into it than a 30 year old middle school desk....

According to the article, the suspects used "orange cornflour", which will be washed off at the next rain. We shall see..

Clowns like that can’t organize two sandwiches for lunch without everything and everyone they “fake hate” …
Much as I liked watching our wind farm go in just in time for Spring winds when it’s 70° outside - now that it’s 95° the wind is gone and NG turbines are spun up full RPM … Maybe these guys should fix that issue …

This makes me so incensed. I'm not a kill 'em all and let God sort them out person in any way, but I'm ready to see some serious punishment laid down on these delusional eco-terrorist offenders. Twenty years seems like a reasonable sentence for attempting to damage famous and irreplaceable works of art or immensely important historical objects.

Well, I try to minimize my fossil fuel usage a bit while still doing things. When sea level rises a couple feet, it will be the poorer countries that suffer most, and I doubt the people/countries that emit the most per capita are going to take in the 100's of millions of people that are displaced by regular flooding?

Closing thread as it is becoming political.
