Rising Tide "Fossil Fools Day" "Fun Demo" Leamington Spa

wagglesmudge | 28.03.2008 20:45 | Climate Chaos | Birmingham

Roll up, roll up! The climate circus is in town. Confronted with melting ice caps, unprecedented species extinction, droughts and extreme weather, climate change threatens our very survival. The fools at the head of the fossil fuel empire continue to plunder the earth, with the governments as willing court jesters at their side.

They would have us believe that we can escape climate change with techno-fixes, market mechanisms and offset schemes - all technocratic acrobatics that distract us from the truth: the only real solution to climate change is to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

On April 1st, 2008, we're going to turn the tables and show them who the real fools are.

JOIN US IN LEAMINGTON SPA TO PROTEST AGAINST THE PROPOSED CLARENDON SHOPPING ARCADE...DO WE NEED MORE SHOPS? CONSUMERISM CAUSES CLIMATE CHAOS! Make the connection between OIL and RETAIL THERAPY - come in fancy dress, bring music, bikes, a sense of humour, children WELCOME.

Assemble BATH PLACE COMMUNITY VENTURE, @ BATH PLACE, LEAMINGTON  http://www.bathplace.org 12.00 for a 12.30 march around Leamington. Finishing at the TOWN HALL.

Please call 07782 299181 for any further information.
