Judge Jonathan Teare said the activists acted with the "highest possible motives".
Sentences ranged from 18 months' conditional discharge to 90 hours' unpaid work, after a judge declared the protesters acted with "the highest possible motives".
Sentencing 20 of the activists in January, a judge at Nottingham crown court said he accepted they had intended a peaceful protest and had the "highest possible motives", describing the group as "honest, sincere, conscientious, intelligent, committed, dedicated, caring".
Teare told them that they had "acted with the highest possible motives" and were "all decent men and women with a genuine concern for others and in particular for the survival of planet Earth in something resembling its present form".
Handing down "lenient" sentences last week at Nottingham crown court, a judge said the intended protest would have been peaceful and safe, and recognised the activists were "decent" people with "the highest possible motives".
The judge, Jonathan Teare, handing out sentences that ranged from conditional discharges to periods of unpaid community work, called the defendants "decent men and women with a genuine concern for others," and said, "I have no doubt that each of you acted with the highest possible motives".
