Whilst Europe is setting records in fossil-fueled climate disaster evacuations and heat levels,
Greta Thunberg was sentenced today to a fine of 1500 crowns plus being ordered to pay 1000 crowns to the "Fund for Victims of Crime" for "disobeying police order" (literal direct translation, "not-hearing-ness against the order-power" :-D) while on June 19 alongside other habitat heroes blockading the fossil-fuels harbor in Malmö, southernmost Sweden.
Greta agreed to having blockaded and stated that it should not be considered a crime, referencing the law for defense of self or others, telling the court that "I believe that we are in an emergency situation within the definition of the law. There is a crisis that threatens lives, health and property. Our life-sustaining systems are collapsing", which is all very obvious but the courts can not accept such facts.
The one non-amateur of the judges in the District Court declared that "The circumstances regarding the climate crisis are not included in the Penal Code's 'emergency'".
That judge asked if Greta had any questions, Greta replied "Many questions. But none suitable here".
