Peak Oil : High tide for an oil addicted world

24-11-2006 15:59

2006 has seen awareness of Climate Change reach new levels and those who have said for so long that something should be done to reduce CO2 emissions are seeing action slowly – perhaps too slowly – beginning to happen.

On Monday 20th November 2006, over 20 well organised environmental and human rights activists risked arrest to shut down a Shell petrol station in central Birmingham for three hours during the morning rush hour. The protesters used direct action to raise awareness about Shell's attempts to build an experimental pipeline and refinery, backed by the Irish state, that will put corporate greed and profit before the interests of local people and the environment in County Mayo, Ireland.
