Text  "Ideas of 2008 that changed the world" included the pioneering Climate Change defence presented by Michael Wolkind QC to secure the acquittal of 6 Greenpeace protesters who climbed Kingsnorth Power Station chimney stack and then daubed political slogans. The article commented that "the decision has elicited strong reactions, including concern that it will be used to excuse a wide range of normally criminal acts. Some legal analysts doubt that other courts will follow suit"
