Climate activist Tim DeChristopher blazing own trail

An environmental activist has been convicted in Utah for preventing a mass sell-off of public wilderness in 2008. Tim DeChristopher is charged with interfering with a public auction for disrupting the Bush administration's last-minute move to auction off oil and gas exploitation rights on vast swaths of federal land.

Welcome to America, we imprison our heros now...

Too bad this guy has given up his freedom, but such a noble cause. Notice how the injustice system will not hear any extenuating cause for the action? Great system of injustice here in the good ole USA. Guilty until proven innocent. This is only part of the broken system in place, just a tip of the iceberg. Thanks RT for this story that the MSM doesn't seem to deem relevent. It's not entertaining and political pundity enough. SHEEESH!!!

This is a great starter video for anyone who is not familiar with Tim DeChristopher or the reality of injustices in this county. "Defending a liveable future will mean sacrifices." Indeed. Thank you, Tim DeChristopher for your brave actions and your inspiring words.

If climate change was used to smuggle in statism, then how come, regardless of which party is in power, not a single attempt has been made in the past 30 years in your country to be less dependent of oil?

@taxisgay12

Climate change and statism? Strange, since the obvious agenda of politician in the US is to pump as much oil as possible, at any cost, such as the Exon-Valdez oil spill, BP-oil spill, etc. None of these devastating events even made your government think twice about continuing to drill. You even went to war overseas to secure more oil, and you are claiming climate change is used to smuggle in statism?

@MrRidazi

Climatology is the study of climates, the change in weather patterns between regions or over a period of time. Climatology has been around since the 11th century or so, it's a science no different from geology, meteorology, physiology, etc., all of which end on -logy... So you are either really stupid, completely caught up in your paradigm or skipped high school, I guess.

@caseagainstfaith What is «Climatology»? Sounds like «Scientology», could it be «Church of Global Warming»?

Climate change is a scam to commoditise the air we breath.Plants breath it.With no plants we have no life on earth.They got rid of most spray cans with Chlorofluoro carbons and are now propelled out of the magic can with guess what CO2.This dude was clearly fucked over.Stop engaging with statism.We don't need government at all.
