Czech Ministry of Environment protects the polluters - not the climate!

From the global day (or was it week?) of action on climate change - activists block the entrance of the Czech Ministry of Environment with a wooden barrier carrying the messages

'canceled for inactivity' ,
'(ministry) protects polluters, not climate',
'closed due to incompetence'

We're reacting to the Ministry’s National Allocation Plan (NAP) with regards to CO2 emissions for years 2008-2012. The proposal allows an increase of the CO2 emissions in the Czech Republic by one quarter above the agreed figure - which means the ministry is failing to protect the climate.

Shame on our Ministry of Environment! They should know better than trying to fool the EU plans (not saying that EU is the best in environmental practices, but they at least try, unlike our ministry).
