tomo, You might notice that the comments on that Guardian article are quite split.
There are some zealots who truly believe that Gasland was recited by Gabriel in a cave.
And some technical experts who tore apart the Greens with a brutal use of facts. The only defence was the claim that non-Greens must be paid astro-turfers.
The fact that the only proven astro-turfers were in the pay of Russia (and so opposed to fracking in the UK) was... inconvenient.
Or possibly a discovery of projection.
Seriously, check out the comments on that Guardian article.
They are revealing of the Green mindset; paranoid and defensive.

Oh Noes !
Wobbin of Sherwood's 1000 year old oak tree is threatened by fracking!
FoE are on the case ...
The procession of profoundly ignorant twerps spouting garbage at The Guardian continues unabated and shows no sign that any of them have made a New Year Resolution to inform themselves.
I see that my status as "in pre-moderation" now has a an exclamation emoji and text in scarlet - how charming.

Shes asking for emeritus status.

Resigning a tenured chair at a major US university is not a thing to be done lightly.

Technically, my resignation is a retirement event"

@tomo,
I posted on 2 January 2017:
If Guy Shrubsole, a Friends of the Earth campaigner and his fellow anti-everything friends value the ground under Sherwood Forrest so much. The solution is simple: buy it and the mineral & other rights and dig some underground sustainable caves to live in.
Most of the inhabitants of Brighton could move there and live in their green underground nirvana isolated from rest of the world.
I’m sure few would object.
It could even be commissioned as a TV programme:
C4: An Underground Eden
Participants include: Guy Shrubsole, Orinoco Shirker, Tomsk Fick, Wellington Green, Cholet Prim and Great Uncle Bulgaria
