No to false solutions! Activists disrupt UN Climate plenary in Barcelona

Today two climate activists sneaked into the main plenary inside the United Nations climate change talks in Barcelona to send a message about the polluting interests trying to profit off of the climate crisis. Loudly unfurling a a banner reading Stop C02lonialism they shouted messages about the dangers of carbon trading and were met with thunderous applause. They were immediately dragged out by police.

There's only one way guys and it seems that they wanted it to be the hard way. How could on earth those dummy guards stop activists expressing what the world want? Where's the media?

Stop smoke markets, oil corps climate criminals!

Felicitats per l´intervenció barcelonina al fals debat climatic.

Algun dia las corporaciones energeticas y los estados ricos y humeantes deberan pagar su deuda al clima interplanetario, no?

thank you. Gross how all those people seated there could allow you to be so man-handled instead of allowing you to have your say/hold the sign and inform the participants of a view being excluded from these sham negotiations: the historic failure of cap-and-trade to reduce emissions while they allow more dumping of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and in mostly poor neighborhoods where power plants are sited.
