The mobalisation meeting that happened in Copenhagen this weekend was very successful. 21 countries and 5 continents were represented as well as a very diverse mix of organizations, individuals, networks, and political perspectives. An international call out text was finalised and the debate regarding shutting down the negotiations or locking them in until we get a genuine solution - was begun. This will continue at the next international climate meeting (probably March of next year). What needs to happen now is this call out needs to spread around the world, so please cut, paste and email it to any lists you havn't seen it on yet. For the CALL OUT TEXT, 8 TRANSLATIONS and a PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE visit the RT Copenhagen Page.

Rising Tide NA, with a lot of support from other groups, have just set up a new website with information from the grassroots, for the grassroots radical and progressive response to Hurricane Gustav and those that have followed. They are currently receiving and collating information from a dozen or so groups in the area.

On the Friday of the Camp for Climate Action, four intrepid Rising Tiders left the site to bring the battle over a new power station at Kingsnorth to the doorstep of the Royal Bank of Scotland, which is one of E.ON's biggest financial backers, and to highlight the links between the financial sector, the fossil fuel industry, and disastrous climate change.

Rising Tiders across the country are decamping en masse to the Camp for Climate Action, and we can't wait! If you're looking to get involved in climate action once you get home, Rising Tide just might be for you. There will be plenty of chances to find out more about the RT network at the camp and meet up with people who are involved. Keep an eye out for us in your neighbourhood, come and see us at our stall, or best of all come to one of our workshops:

Climate Campers and friends, including Rising Tiders, put a fresh dent in E.ON’s tarnished reputation with a Greenwash Guerrillas demo outside the 16th July Guardian Climate Change Summit, which E.ON are sponsoring.

Protected by toxic waste hazard suits and brandishing a top-of-the-line range of greenwash detecting devices, the 40 intrepid Greenwash Guerrillas swarmed around the building (the Business Design Centre in Islington, whose marketing managers were not best pleased at their presence and who might think twice about working with a climate criminal like E.ON in future), making sure that every delegate who entered knew about E.ON’s attempt to build the first new coal fired power station in the UK for thirty years at Kingsnorth, in Kent (site of this year’s Camp for Climate Action, which has other plans – like leaving fossil fuels in the ground!).

On Saturday 21st June, twenty cyclists and a toddler in a child-seat from Mid-Wales Climate Action, the Welsh Youth Forum on Sustainable Development and Gwerin Y Coed (Woodcraft Folk) completed the 157 miles from Machynlleth to Cardiff to publicise the need for cycle-lanes and provision for bikes on public transport. At the Senedd, where ‘the Carbon Cycle’ delivered a petition, cyclists were welcomed by Leanne Wood AM and Gordon James of FoE Cymru. The ride was part of Bike Week and raised money for Oxfam’s work with people worst affected by climate change. Although cyclists endured some hostile motorists and dangerous driving along the way, they thoroughly enjoyed the experience. ‘Every day was an achievement’, said Ailish, 'moving slower is so much nicer!'
