On 3rd March, Aberdeen Campaign Against Climate Change held a protest against Shell gas flaring in the Niger Delta and their sponsorship of the Wildlife Photography Exhibition outside the Satrosphere, which hosts the exhibition. We got good coverage in the local newspaper - though they also interviewed somebody from Shell who said that they were thinking of stopping the gas flaring.(well, they've had plenty of time to THINK about it...).

I know one of those demonstrators was just bought flights to Mexico, Guatamala, and Cuba for a holiday. I don't know who paid for it, but I know she fits this description:  http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/02/361290.html?c=on#c165838

Any dealer in dangerous substances only has power when there is demand. If you provide the demand then you should be shame-faced to condemn the dealer. Green hypocrites, an upper-class social event.

here's to our last drink of fossil fuels
let us vow to get off of this sauce
shoo away the swarms of commuter planes

Hypocrite
