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.

DEC 3RD 2005 INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CLIMATE ACTION

Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 11/20/2005 - 00:17

This is the statement written jointly by members of London Rising Tide, and read out at the December 3rd 2005 rally outside the US Bombassy in London:

This day of action is undoubtedly the best supported and most international day of action on climate ever planned, which is an amazing achievement. Today’s a day to tell the world that we have had enough of being told that ‘the end could be nigh’ by scientists, only to see our leaders jamming their foot on the accelerator of a car that is already hurtling towards the cliff edge - whilst they shout ‘Trust me – I have your best interests at heart!’

And whilst today is a great achievement, maybe we should be asking ourselves some difficult questions, and re-examining our arguments and our tactics.

G8 Climate Counter Summit - Moving Beyond the Greenwash

Submitted by Anonymous on Fri, 02/25/2005 - 18:10

Monday 14th March, London

AN OPEN INVITATION TO CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIVISTS, PEOPLE FROM ENVIRONMENTAL NGOS, SOCIAL JUSTICE & COMMUNITY GROUPS AND ANYONE INTERESTED IN FINDING OUT MORE ABOUT CLIMATE ACTION IN THE RUN-UP TO THE G8 SUMMIT.

As the International Energy and Environment Ministers' Roundtable meets in London (March 15th-16th), the establishment's climate change agenda is dominated by hot air - and completely undermined by an absence of action. Currently Tony Blair's government, and by extension the G8, are capturing both the media attention and the moral high ground on this issue, further marginalising those calling for just and real solutions to climate change.
