The Camp for Climate Action is a grassroots movement taking direct action against the root causes of climate change. We've already had major successes with Heathrow's third runway and E.ON's plans for a new coal fired power station at Kingsnorth.

This year we're targeting the Royal Bank of Scotland, one of the world's largest investor in oil, gas and coal.

Last year RBS were bailed out with £50 billion of public money. From tar sands extraction in Canada to coal infrastructure here in the UK, we're paying to trash our future. These projects are not just causing catastrophic climate change, but destroying the lives and livelihoods of people across the globe. Meanwhile, we're told there is no money left in the public pot and we should be braced for decades of public sectors cuts.

What are we doing about it? In August, people from across the UK will be converging to take back the power and Break the Bank! Our sustainable and collectively organised basecamp will give you the chance to learn, train up, and meet like minded individuals. Exciting action plans are also underway for those who want to get involved.

So come to Edinburgh this summer! We'll see you there.

What is the point?

One guy in the film says 'capitalism isn't working'. What is this action going to do that's helping? A massive police bill paid for by tax payers in a time of huge cuts. The police will enjoy it, you,ll enjoy it and the rest of us pay for it.

I think you've missed a trick there

Now is the time to focus on BP, being a British company and all, you can make massive impact in this time with very little effort, they are already loosing money, and if the focus of the camp was them, there is a small chance (in my opinion) that you could start it's downfall into bankruptcy. plus it will attract a lot more liberals which is what you lot want no?

Well why don't you start your own camp/actions against BP because I am sure there will be plenty of people to support you. If you organise it for after this camp you could attend and rally up support for your actions there and find people to help you.

It is not very helpful to simply criticise people for trying to do something positive, as you could have contacted Climate Camp ages ago and made the suggestion, or organised your own thing. Moaning about it won't achieve anything.

Less whining, more winning!
