Bad news this morning for any productive, hard-working, and busy members of our society.

The climate protesters who brought Wellington to a standstill - rush hour traffic to a stand still - will be back at it again soon. 

Mark my words. 

You'll see more idiots gluing themselves to motorways, abseiling down Mt Victoria, hanging signs from gantries, roads closed, police resources distracted from important stuff, and chaos to start your day. 

Why? 

The Crown has walked away from, abandoned, the prosecution of more than 20 defendants facing charges over protests in Wellington. 

These guys are off on their merry way. 

They're from the Restore Passenger Rail group. 

Some were awaiting re-trial after juries couldn't come to a verdict on whether they endangered transport. 

Anyway there's a lot of hands that should be in cuffs that will soon be covered in glue again.

How do we know this? 

They told us.

One of the nutters said he hopes the Crown decision sets a precedent and that protesters won't be prosecuted for future climate change activism.

We had numpties sleeping in coal cart trying to shut down the Stockton mine on the West Coast over Easter. 

Dangerous stuff. Expensive stuff. I remember a woman stuck in traffic on SH1 missing her chemo appointment at hospital. 

Their point is emissions are bad for the climate, but tens of thousands of cars sitting idle stuck in traffic while some climate hero gets his five seconds of TikTok fame abseiling onto our state highways would surely, if anything, make those emissions worse. 

Also, did you know they hire gas-guzzling diesel vans to ferry them to and from their stunts?

Hypocritical losers, even Tory Whanau said they were dumb.

These people are not about climate solutions. They're about themselves. 

I'm all for constructive discussion on how our small country can play it's part. 

But every time I see an ambulance stuck in a traffic jam caused by unnecessary attention seekers, it makes me want to let the planet burn just to spite them. 

Sadly, the rest of us can all look forward to dealing with much more of this in the months and years ahead.
