Dateline: Trafalgar Square, London, UK, 12:00-13:30, Sat 13 Feb 10 – On the opening day of the Winter Olympics in Canada, around 50 folk mobilised by the UK Tar Sands Network and London Rising Tide partook of sporting events of a sharper, more satirical sort: The Canadian Tar Sands Oil-ympics. With Canada House as a backdrop, among the Canadian-state-funded ballyhoo of big screen live feeds and 5-ring ice sculptures, we staged tug-o-war, relay race and street curling events to help highlight the biggest single industrial climate crime on Earth: the Canadian-state-backed toxic rape of tar sands deposits in Alberta, and the consequent death wave decimating the boreal forest, its flora, fauna, water courses and indigenous First Nations people.

Greenpeace International have hired pro-corporate Tzeporah Berman as climate change and energy director.

Since November last year, the public has been bombarded with the story of stolen emails from the Climatic Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, revealing a supposed "scandal" of scientific malpractice, stupidly and lazily named "climategate". Further media frenzy erupted over an erroneous Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change statement that 80 per cent of Himalayan glacier area would very likely be gone by 2035. Other climate-related storms in a teacup have been appearing in the corporate media almost on a daily basis. This nonsense is distracting attention from a mountain of evidence that human-induced climate change is accelerating and poses a deadly threat to civilisation.

The concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere is already so high that the climate system has been brought out of balance. The CO2 concentration and global temperatures have increased more rapidly in the last 50 years than ever before on Earth, and will rise even faster in the coming decades. This adds to a multitude of other serious ecological imbalances, the impacts of which threaten the lives and livelihoods of the people of the world, most acutely, impoverished people and other vulnerable groups.

How NGO Bureaucrats and Greenwashed Corporations are Turning Nature Into Investment Capital-

On the occasion of its ten-year anniversary, the antiglobalization movement has been brought out of its slumber. This is to be expected, as anniversaries and nostalgia often trump the here and now in political action. What is troublesome, though, is not the celebration of a historical moment but the attempted resurrection of this movement, known by some as the Global Justice Movement, under the banner of Climate Justice.

They dont seem to have a website yet.....
