How can offshore wind farms directly affect (the income of) farmland? #climatechangeishere

Hiding in my basement study, ostensibly working, but also because it is like 5,000 degrees outside with SSH (super sweaty humidity, an obscure, technical scientific designation).

@alpinefolk - The grim irony; the Establishment treats people trying to save us as criminals...

It has always been thus, whether Suffragettes, anti apartheid tour protesters, anti war activists...

The only time the government sided with protesters was during French anti-atomic testing. Not only did the govt side with protesters,the power of the State was deployed.

PM Kirk sent a warship ("Peaceship"?) to Mururoa to show our displeasure.

THAT was leadership.
