Vandalism

Posted by Chris

From Mark Lynas’s new blog on climate change (hat-tip Harry’s Place ) comes this story of the medieval village of Heuersdorf , in eastern Germany, which is threatened by strip-mining for lignite. God knows why anyone should mine dirty, horrible, acid-rain producing brown coal anyway, let alone demolish medieval churches to do so. This story needs wider circulation.
