Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 01/25/2011 - 16:17

The morning of Friday the 14th of January saw a few of us from London Rising Tide join the Big Society Trade Negotiators (aka UK Tar Sands Network) as they took over a coffee shop in Victoria station (to buy coffee), and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills. We were there to voice our concerns about CETA (the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement) and try to get a meeting with Stephen Green, the new Minister for Trade. And we achieved both of these, which is way more than we expected from this early morning escapade.

Global Mobilization for Mother Earth

The Earth is a live being and is seriously ill. We, her inhabitants, are those who are affecting her with the virus of developmentalism. We inhabit an ocean called the atmosphere, as fish live in water. Without it, there would be no life, because it contains oxygen and water, together with the forests and rains that give sustenance to live beings. But we are affecting her terribly.

Copenhagen 2009: Call for “system change not climate change” unites global movement.

*Call for “system change not climate change” unites global movement
*Corrupt Copenhagen ‘accord’ exposes gulf between peoples demands

Copenhagen, December 2009
Climate justice

The highly anticipated UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen
ended with a fraudulent agreement, engineered by the United States

parliamentary invention designed to accommodate the United States
and permit Ban Ki-moon to utter the ridiculous pronouncement "We
have a deal."
