The Dead End of Climate Justice
lotek repost , 13-01-2010 - 22:22
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.

BWTUC , 08-01-2010 - 13:41
http://www.bwtuc.org.uk/meetings.aspx?meetingID=42
The government are claiming that building nuclear power plants across the UK will help deal with the problems of climate change and unemployment.
But does nuclear power hold the answer to these problems or does it simply detract from developing other solutions for climate change?

GreenPeace/GreenPolice: A communique from the COP15 Black Bloc
The Imaginary Party , 28-12-2009 - 17:10
This communique was given out by a portion of the Black Bloc during the march to the Bella Centre on Saturday at the protests against the U.N. COP-15: There seems to be a common logic between the government delegates, the NGOs who control the march, and even the radical ecological activists: we are all saving humanity together. Who would not want to fight for this? And even if you did not, do you even have a choice?

Are we serious? the shambles in Copenhagen
dariush , 23-12-2009 - 23:25
A personal account of the failure of the protests in Copenhagen. It's all too easy to blame that nasty "police repression" for the lack of fizz of the demos in Denmark -- but were the protests ever serious?

COP15 Fails -- Capitalism is Ecocide
IMC UK Features , 20-12-2009 - 21:59
As the politicians and protesters disperse from Copenhagen , the COP15 climate talks were judged to have ended in a failure to produce any binding commitment to tackle climate change. On Saturday 12th, an estimated 100 000 joined a demo, to be met with repressive policing and mass arrests. The same style of policing continued for the duration of the summit, with hundreds of protestors detained for hours in degrading and inhumane conditions. Whilst the police demonstrated the limits of freedom and democracy on the streets, inside the convention centre western powers and corporations dominated the proceedings, imposing unfair conditions and watering down the already inadequate proposals that were on the table. In London, the Climate Camp which was set up after the 'wave' demo on December 5th, remained in situ in Trafalgar Square throughout the summit, mounting a number of actions, including an action against Tar Sands at Canada House on Monday 14th, and a protest against the Danish police on Thursday 17th.
