The comments were made as seven Just Stop Oil members were sentenced for targeting a fuel terminal.
A judge sentencing seven Just Stop Oil protesters has praised their "admirable aims" after they disrupted operations at an Esso fuel terminal in Birmingham.The protesters were told by District Judge Graham Wilkinson at Wolverhampton Magistrates' Court he was moved by their "deeply emotive" explanations.
They were each given a 12-month conditional discharge and ordered to varying pay costs to the Crown Prosecution Service .Sentencing them, Mr Wilkinson said it was "abundantly clear" they were good people and it had been "a pleasure throughout" to deal with them.A specialist police team removed protesters from Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion from the roof of a tanker
"Many of your explanations for your actions were deeply emotive and I am sure all listening were moved by them, I know I was." After Thursday's hearing the group said it was continuing with its cause, adding: "We are going to stop new fossil fuel projects whether those in power agree or not." "If judges across the criminal justice system did the same then there would be no consistency and no respect for the law, decisions based on the personal beliefs of members of the judiciary cannot be consistent with the rule of law and the ideal that each law will apply to all equally.
"It is unarguable that manmade global warming is real and that we are facing a climate crisis. That is accepted and recognised by the scientific community and most governments .
