The spirit of ‘energy-descent-meets-energy-dissent’ took a major leap forward (or perhaps away from the cliff-edge) this summer, with the Camp for Climate Action. The Camp announced in the build-up its intention to share ideas and inspiration about how we can ‘live the solutions’, as well as a trifling intention to shut down neighbouring Drax power station, Europe’s largest emitter of CO2.

The October 30 release of the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate
Change — a British government-commissioned report — has helped increase
the pressure on Australia and its fellow Kyoto renegade, the United
States, and keep the threat posed by the greenhouse effect on the front
pages of at least a section of the corporate press.

There is no planet B, so we need an economic plan B. We need to develop new economic systems because there is only one eco-system and it cannot survive the present free market economy.

On Monday, October 23rd 2006, at exactly 8 am, a dozen global warming
activists - some arriving on foot, some in a rented truck - converged
outside of Washington, D.C., and promptly occupied a main entrance to
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, one of the
nation's leading climate agencies.

Tuesday 29th Aug: Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station Blockaded

The gates to Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station are currently being blockaded by a group of seven climate change campaigners.

This morning at 8am seven people blocked the entrance to the nuclear plant by locking themselves together across the gate with steel arm tubes.

A banner outside the gates reads "No More" (with the o's being nuclear symbols) - in reference to the Government's plans for a new generation of nuclear power stations.
