Tree sitters rally against natural gas pipelines

Dozens of people joined Theresa “Red” Terry and her daughter “Minor” Terry for a solidarity rally to protest against the construction of the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast pipelines on the Downtown Mall on Monday afternoon.

The rally was part of a movement by progressive community organizations demanding Governor Ralph Northam keep his promises to make sure the natural gas pipelines don’t interfere with the state’s environmental health.

“Red” and “Minor” Terry sat in trees for 34 days in Roanoke County until a judge ordered them to come down Saturday.

Their stop in Charlottesville is part of a tour throughout the state to protest against the construction of these natural gas pipelines.

Making these stops is important for Terry because she said it’s a way to rally the community together for this cause.

“I got a lot of attention in the tree, I guess it takes an old coot in a tree to get attention,” said Terry. “What made me want to come out is people were interested and if we can spread the word to anyone out there, get involved, let’s fight this thing together, I will go to the ends of the Earth if that’s what it takes.”

Terry’s motivation to go up in the trees began when she started to see the work begin by her home.

“I walked the path of the pipeline and then they started cutting on the mountain to my neighbors,” said Terry. “I said that’s it, I’m going up.”

Through her protest in the trees, Terry hoped to show everyone how important her land was and why the company shouldn’t be allowed to take it away.

“I really think our politicians have no right to take our land and give it to profit companies,” said Terry.

Although she was removed from her perch in the trees, she said her fight is only beginning and hopes to inspire the city with this message.

“Keep fighting, just keep fighting,” said Terry. “It should’ve been by the people for the people. It shouldn’t be by the oil and gas companies who buy our politicians because that’s who’s running this company. They’re using our politicians as puppets to get whatever they want.”

Dominion Energy, the company behind the Atlantic Coast Pipeline project, said the project has been the most-reviewed infrastructure project in state history.

    Can you show me some peer reviewed science papers he has authored? None, zero. Because he is a disgraced scientist. And he was fired for sexual harassment of his students. And that is something you can get fired for.

  2. dave thompson on Wed, 9th May 2018 7:35 pm 

    Mastermind, go to his website read it all there. You do not know what you are talking about. The sexual hearsay attacks came long after he left regular service at the University. All of his published works are available if you care to read them. Try googling Guy McPherson or Nature Bats last. Talk to me in a month when you have read it all. It took me about that long the first time I encountered his work back in 2013.

  3. DerHundistLos on Wed, 9th May 2018 8:51 pm 

    What I do know about Guy McPherson is that he closed the comment section of his website after posters tired of his BS and called him out. These posters were not climate deniers, but good people who challenged McPherson on certain “facts”. McPherson has morphed into an angry and bitter hater.

    I know..He is a whack job. Just because he has a PhD and great hair. Stupid people look up to him and believe the bullshit he says. And he uses guilt just like relgions due to manipulate people by their emotions. Oh look those cute polar bears are dying because of the evil humans. Just like the church always has Jesus on a cross. Oh look that nice man who wanted to save humanity was crucified on a cross…Booo hoooo booo hooo

    You aren’t refuting any of the papers I cited though. No system with humans can be perfect. But its better than having no fact checking system in place. And just because a few papers aren’t accurate, doesn’t mean every single one is. if you want to refute a point made by the scholarly peer reviewed articles I have cited. Then go right ahead. But you squeal that all science papers are wrong, is just paranoid lunacy.

    DerHundistLos McPherson closed his comment page down because of the constant sniping between the posters. Just like what goes on this forum. Anyone can still email McPherson and refute anything McPherson has posted on climate change and the predicament humanity faces. If you had read his work thoroughly you would know that.

He is not a real scientist, he is a quack. And he didn’t shut his comments down due to sniping, he did because his bullshit lies were being called out. You are a total idiot for believing his nonsense. He is not a climate scientist and therefore he shouldn’t be speaking about those issues. He is a sexual predator and that was why he was fired.

    i always type in lower case because i hate capitalism.

  18. Cloggie on Thu, 10th May 2018 3:54 am 

    This just in, official Dutch government announcement that as of July 1, 2018, it is forbidden by law to equip new build houses with a connection to the national gas grid:

    https://zoek.officielebekendmakingen.nl/stb-2018-129.html

    Signed by the Minister of Economic Affairs and Climate E.D. Wiebes.

    This effectively means that new houses should be strictly thermally isolated, have solar panels and a heat pump.

  19. Cloggie on Thu, 10th May 2018 3:56 am 

    i always type in lower case because i hate capitalism.

    Why do you, as a Marxist thug, not live up to your own ukase and write your insane nick in low caps, millimind?

  20. Antius on Thu, 10th May 2018 5:53 am 

    “This effectively means that new houses should be strictly thermally isolated, have solar panels and a heat pump.”

    Good. But if you are going down the whole renewable powered heat pump route, then thermal mass is just as important as insulation. Newer buildings tend to be weak in this regard, because there is a tendency now for buildings to be prefab which allows them to be assembled quickly. Ideally, heating would consume excess intermittent energy. For that to work, the thermal inertia of the building should be large, with heat stored in masonry walls and large water tanks for those periods of up to a several days when the heat pump is not working.

    “anyone can write a book. hell there are holocaust deniers who have books published”

    I find it interesting in Europe that Holocaust deniers are not necessarily those that disagree with the occurrence of the Holocaust. It could simply mean questioning specific details.

    If the official version of events is that 6million were killed by gas and you state in literature that it was actually 5,999,999, then according to law in Germany you are a holocaust denier. The law basically shuts down any debate whatever on this part of history. You legally have to ‘take it on faith’.

    Not a very healthy state of affairs. It basically means that if you have so much as a question about it or doubt any detail that you are fed, you are a holocaust denier and are breaking the law. Yet another example as to why censorship laws are incompatible with any sort of democracy, which by necessity requires open discussion of ideas without fear of persecution.

  22. Cloggie on Thu, 10th May 2018 6:35 am 

    I find it interesting in Europe that Holocaust deniers are not necessarily those that disagree with the occurrence of the Holocaust. It could simply mean questioning specific details.

    In Germany they just threw again a 89 year old granny in the slammer for denying the holotale:

    https://russia-insider.com/en/holocaust-doubting-grandma-hunted-down-fearless-german-crime-fighters/ri23412

    The political Left, for whom the holotale is The Major Political Capital to enforce their communist One World Schemes, playing on Christian guilt complexes, is desperately defending its history tales.

    In the link you will find a YouTube video, where “nazi” grandma is explaining why the holotale is a hoax (with English subs). Interestingly German television DID broadcast the documentary without much comment (sign of things to come?).

    The holotale is an Alllied invention in order to paint the Germans in the blackest possible colors in order to justify the US-Soviet destruction and colonization of Europe. Period. Just like the tale that the Germans waged aggressive war against their neighbors, they didn’t, as Nuremberg judge Jackson had to admit in private:

    https://documents1940.wordpress.com/2017/09/26/justice-jackson-has-to-admit/

    I am with this British bishop who sticks his neck out and openly says there is no proof whatsoever for the gaschamber story:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11B6qDv8Fns
    (200,000 Jews died in concentration camps, nobody in gaschambers)

    What did happen? Here is a summary of the politically neutral Red Cross, who produced a summary on the basis of German death records:

    https://tinyurl.com/l37sl87

    373k deaths in all camps, mostly from typhus.

    Nobody denies these figures.

    But the best argument was produced by American revisionist Bradley Smits:

    Give me the name and proof of a single person who was gassed in a gas chamber.

    Nobody ever came up with a name, let alone with proof.

    All the forensic evidence points against the existence of gas chambers:

    Several engineers scratched samples from walls of alleged gas chambers and investigated for cyanide content. Result: zero. The real gas chambers, those where cloths were fumigated against lice (death cause #1) were tschockfull with cyanide.

    In the forties, every German officer had a photo-camera. At least one must have made a clandestine photo of a pile of gassed bodies. These photos do not exist.

    The number of crematoria ovens in Auschwitz do not match the required capacity of processing 4 million bodies (the original death toll number). Not even of 1.5 million. In fact hardly of 53,000, the most likely real death toll.

    The cokes deliveries same story.

    200k dead Jews in concentration camps, that is the most likely number and a few hundred thousand Jewish partisans in the East who were shot.

    The US empire and holotale will fall flat on its face, hand in hand.

    I think that Putin will offer relief to the Germans, in exchange for admittance to the European geopolitical dinner table.

    If you want to believe some disgraced former scientists, based on faith. go right ahead. But I think you are putting the cart in front of the horse.

    Funny thing about doomsday Guru’s they always go after the young woman of their cult..It never fails..Like cats seeing a laser pointer..They pounce!

  30. dave thompson on Thu, 10th May 2018 12:55 pm 

    Mastermind, Now that I have shown McPherson’s work can you show me any articles or official information, such as published work or police records of McPherson being disgraced? Was McPherson arrested? Who are the accusers? When was his trial and conviction? There must be some public written documentation of what you believe.

    Dave, mm is a fraud I ignore him for the most part. He is just a spoiler and an arrogant adolescent with self confidence issues. Guy, is a great thinker. I see his forecast as too short term but he is on the right track.

  32. dave thompson on Thu, 10th May 2018 2:25 pm 

    Davy, Thanks, I was starting to think I was wasting my time a few posts back. The key now is that it is all happening faster than expected.

  33. MASTERMIND on Thu, 10th May 2018 2:29 pm

    You ignore because you are scared of me. You even admitted you are scared to open the scholarly papers I cite..You are a total gut less coward. Just another inheritance little bitch. And siding with a lunatic and proven sexual predator like Guy isn’t surprising.

    Dave thompson. If you want to believe that the world is going to end because of climate change in a decade. Go right ahead. When the oil crisis hits, the last thing you will be worried about is the weather…

    Here is what Guy says to his young female students. “Can I lick your pussy?”

    He manipulates stupid people from a position of authority.

  35. dave thompson on Thu, 10th May 2018 2:42 pm 

    Mastermind, Thanks, for once again proving you have absolutely no evidence backing up your slanderous remarks in regards to Dr. McPherson.

    As for climate change all I pointed out was that the earth is losing the arctic sea ice and that it could lead to catastrophic results in the growing season.

  36. MASTERMIND on Thu, 10th May 2018 2:53 pm 

    Dave

    The link I showed you had text from Guy’ himself..

  37. dave thompson on Thu, 10th May 2018 3:10 pm 

    Mastermind, That post is all you have? It proves nothing, how do we even know if it is real? Where did it come from? In what context are we to believe that is the real Guy McPherson? Who is this person making the allegations? Did this person file official charges against Guy?

    Trump may be an old president, but compared to Mahatmir Mohamed of Malasia he is still a youngster. Mohamed is with 92 the world’s oldest leader:

    ….and still has a sharp mind:

    When our overlords make a decree, they always sell it as a minor temporary law that only affects Muslims, junkies, sex offenders, homosexuals, illegal immigrants, or blacks. The 1% doesn’t mention that the law will become permanent and more draconian.

    No one cares if owning cows are illegal, yoga pants are illegal, teen driving is illegal, or smoking is illegal. The problem is what happens when your job is banned, the government steals your house, tortures your family, or sends you to the concentration camps.

    Are you just going to take it?
