The scientists were sentenced to 210 daily fines each for damage to property & trespassing. However the judge dropped the charge of coercion, recognizing that the main goal of the actions was to draw attention to the climate crisis, which he called "the greatest challenge facing humanity."
So yeah, we are facing "the greatest challenge to humanity" but let's invest the little time we have left prosecuting scientists for trespassing and for sticking to luxury cars rather than helding governments and fossil fuel companies accountable
Meanwhile scientists write "[...] we are shocked by the ferocity of the extreme weather events in 2023. We are afraid of the uncharted territory that we have now entered. Conditions are going to get very distressing and potentially unmanageable for large regions of the world" https://tinyurl.com/2vtwjp9a
