The Climate Hawk’s Companion: Voices from the #ClimateTrial (PODCAST)

The Lobsterboat Blockade case went to trial today. (You can hear about the background here.) In a good outcome, the criminal charges were reduced to civil charges. The defendants will pay a fine, but serve no jail time.

 

You can read a press release from the defendants or District Attorney Sam Sutter’s statement. The DA did the right thing in brokering a win-win agreement, and the recognized the bigger issues involved in the case.  WBUR and Climate Central both have stories up as well.

 

Thanks for listening.
