This is what they have to say:

Traffic Backed UpProtesters against the continued and unrestrained promotion of fossil fuel projects by the UK government have blockaded the main vehicle access route into the new LNG pipeline terminal near Milford Haven, South Wales. Their aim is to highlight the serious environmental and safety issues surrounding this project, and to call for a more sober approach to the impending energy crisis.

Sophie from Rising Tide Australia speaks at a massive rally vs. the G20 in Melbourne, 18.11.06

'The 2006 G20 meeting of finance ministers, reserve bank governors and heads of the World Bank took place at the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne, Australia, from November 17-19 2006.' (http://www.stopg20.org/)

This is what a Rising Tider said to a big rally on the day:

It's time to say 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!'

Direct-action protesters in the U.K. are focusing on climate change
By Mike Wendling
13 Nov 2006

It's half an hour or so after the end of Britain's biggest-ever protest against climate change, and I'm still hanging out in Trafalgar Square.

A few groups of kids are milling around, and a couple of anarchists have set up a bicycle-powered disco. One or two old-timers are trying to get rid of their last remaining copies of the Socialist Worker. Most of the protesters have heeded the organizers' advice to reuse or recycle their placards, but the local cleaning crews are quick on the job, cleaning up the rest of the rubbish to get the place ready for a typical London Saturday night. Everyone else is heading home, or to the pub.
