Emergency services were called in to remove climate change protestors after they scaled coal loading equipment on Kooragang Island today.
The group from Rising Tide, took up position on the roof of the NCIG conveyor gantry, interupting ship loading for about 2 hours.
The group links the burning of fossil fuels to climate change and the drought and famine currently gripping East Africa.
A spokesperson for the coal loader says, conveyers were shut down due to immediate safety concerns for workers, protestors and emergency personnel. The company is reserving its right to take legal action against the protestors.

Were these idiots gaoled?
The problem is, when a government lies to the people anarchic episodes like this happen. These idiots should be gaoled and during their gaol term be educated.
If, and it’s a big IF, the globe is warming, it will increase evoparation and therefore increase precipitation, reducing droughts.
We know that atmospheric CO2 IS rising. As atmospheric CO2 rises, the world’s biomass increases. Therefore the world’s food supply increases.
These two reasons should be enough for the protestors to apologise profusely.
