WHY CAN’T WE GIVE UP FOSSIL FUELS?- ASK A SMOKER!

George Marshall- August 2001

1. Climate change is a direct result of our addiction to fossil fuels. We cannot imagine life without fossil fuels. If our supply is cut off we "brown out" or even "black out"

2. We suspend all moral standards to get a fix. We are prepared to carve up conservation areas, overrule all basic human rights, and even carpet bomb countries to maintain the flow of fuel.

Environmental groups need to accept it is a dangerous con trick

The last day of COP6.5 climate talks in Bonn was interrupted by activists protesting that the deal being signed would only serve the interests of big business and reinforce global inequality.

On the 20th of July, Social Ecologist Transformation made an action in Istanbul, in solidarity with the Climate Summit in Bonn. The action was in Istiklal Street, in one of the main and crowded squares of Istanbul. The other groups in Anarchist Platform, Anarchist Youth Federation and the Masterless.

The Rising Tide climate change tour travelled around the UK, visiting 11 places and spreading information on climate change, inspiring action, and instilling hope that things really can get better, not just wetter.

stopping climate chaos with local action

The rising tide…

Rivers bursting their banks once, twice, and more, across the UK this winter; giant cracks in Antarctica's ice sheets; the 1990's was the warmest decade in the last 1000 years - the climate is in chaos.

- risingtide tour now ended..

Is it safe to come out then? Is it really all over? No, I don't just mean the election. I mean the long winter of heavy skies - the end of March this year marking the wettest 12 months in the UK since records began in the mid- eighteenth century - and the seemingly non-existent spring.
