Protesters yesterday took on the World Business Summit on Climate Change in Denmark's' first public action against the UN SCAM Climate Summit, the COP 15. Protesters approached the meeting attempting to get inside to disrupt the discussions around what business will lobby for in the UN Scam meetings in Copenhagen in December. Several protesters were badly injured by police who were brutal in their efforts to keep business leaders 'safe' from any opposing opinion.
Over 50 people were arrested. One Swedish protester was arrested attempting to deliver Vattenfalls CEO their companies climate greenwash award - for being the company in 2009 with the greatest gap between their business practices and their propaganda. People waiting outside the police station for the release of their friends were brutally disbanded by the police while 5 of the protesters were still inside. Police also used pressure points and throat closing pressure techniques to 'question' two of the protesters arrested. Business leaders inside the forum continue to push for false solutions for climate change- but protests say that police violence will not deter them.
"The world is at stake" one protester said outside the police station. "These businesses with their false solutions are just as bad as those that deny the existence of climate change. They are trying desperately to keep on with their business as usual. But people around the world are waking up! We will not allow reckless profiteering from business to continue- we will shut them down- one climate criminal at a time. We will continue this struggle until the profits of a tine elite are no longer put before the survival of millions or ordinary people around the world."
