Carbon Sink crisis: Uptake of CO2 by North Atlantic Ocean slows

Further evidence for the decline of the oceans' historical role as an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide is supplied by new research by environmental scientists from the University of East Anglia.

Since the industrial revolution, much of the CO2 we have released into the atmosphere has been taken up by the world’s oceans which act as a strong ‘sink’ for the emissions.

This has slowed climate change. Without this uptake, CO2 levels would have risen much faster and the climate would be warming more rapidly.

Call to prepare and organise a climate camp in Germany

1) The idea
2) How the idea emerged and how where we can go from
here
3) Why organise a climate camp?
4) Communication

1. The Idea

Following the model established by the Camp for
Climate Action in the UK, which was held for the
second time this year, we want to initiate the process
of organising a Climate-Action Camp in Germany in
2008. Just like in the UK we want to create links
between the exchange of knowledge (in workshops),
self-organised living (in the camp) that minimises our
ecological footprint, networking and direct action.
