Authors walk out of Edinburgh book festival event in protest at fossil fuel link
Authors have staged a walkout from the Edinburgh International Book Festival in protest at its links to “fossil fuel companies”.
Author and climate activist Mikaela Loach interrupted her panel discussion on Saturday evening to stand against the festival’s main sponsor Baillie Gifford, accusing them of investing in “companies who make money from fossil fuels”.

I will make a point of not buying books from any company that seeks to profit from Ms Loach's output. I feel little anxiety about this.
From Wikipedia:
What did Mikaela Loach do?
Campaigning. Aware of the intersection between the refugee crisis, the climate crisis, racism and the legacies of colonialism, Loach advocates for environmental justice, racial justice, sustainable fashion, and human rights issues such as white supremacy and maltreatment of migrants.
I wonder how she decided which cause to pursue each morning - because if it is 'all of them' she spreads herself very thinly.
decnine and DJ - it's a guess, but I suspect Ms Loach's output is well worth avoiding. Student politics of the "I'm more radical than you" persuasion from the sound of it.
How did she get home?
Tammly - must have walked, although that could cause her to breathe out more CO2 than usual.
