The Sami people might possibly rank last with almost all other indigenous groups as the least responsible for the climate catastrophe. They have the least contribution to and enjoyed the least benefit from humanity's use of fossil fuels. If there was any justice in this world those wind turbines would have been built on top of the mansions of oil CEOs and shareholders. But I'm a realist so I realise that it is silly to force oil tycoons to give up their massive mansions and wealth and that it is silly not to force the sami to give up protecting their lands and livelihood so that the rest of us can continue to exist.

A court order has deemed the turbines' location in Norway illegal, as they disrupt Sami reindeer-herding traditions by DoremusJessup
