This was the first time Climate Change had been used as a Lawful Excuse defence, Mr Wolkind successfully arguing that the action was taken to protect the polar ice cap, the sub Saharan deserts, the Alaskan tundra, the Medway regions in Kent, the Inuit people, polar bears, penguins and just about everything else in the World. Earlier in the trial the prosecution had applied for the case to be withdrawn from the jury as disclosing no possible defence.
