On this day, 18 September 2013 a Greenpeace protest ended badly, with the crew of its ship the Arctic Sunrise attempting to scale the Prirazlomnaya drilling platform, as part of a protest against Arctic oil production. (see here)
The following day they were captured,in international waters, by Russians
On this day the PPM was 393. Now it is 420ish- but see here for the latest.
Why this matters.
We should remember that there have been efforts to at least slow the acceleration of our dash for death.
What happened next?
The crew were released three months later, the ship three months after that.
