Flat Earth NZ chapter reaches out to climate skeptics

We at the Flat Earth Society have spent so
many years out in the cold, shunned by Government, science and most of
society. But on Friday night a glimmer of hope appeared for us in the
form of the climate sceptic group, the NZ Climate Science Coalition.
They were hosting a talk by the Australian climate sceptic (and
stratigraphist which is about rock layering) Bob Carter, at the Royal
NZ Yacht Squadron in Auckland.

Media Release -- 19th November, 2007

Grassroots climate change action group Rising Tide has blockaded a coal train on its way into the world's biggest coal export port, at Kooragang Island in Newcastle Harbour. No trains are able to enter Kooragang Coal Terminal because of the blockade.

AUST: GP shut down coal terminal

Just a few hours ago, Greenpeace activists climbed aboard the coal conveyor, and hit the safety switches, taking action to shut down the Munmorah coal-fired power station on the NSW Central Coast, the oldest in the state. As you read this email, our activists are still there. They've already prevented hundreds of tonnes of dangerous
climate pollution and are receiving national media attention.

AUST: Rising Tide Port Blockade report

Port blockade a success!

Thankyou to everyone who took part in Saturday's Peoples' Blockade of the World's Biggest Coal Port !

Photos are coming soon.....

The protest was a fantastic show of community determination to take action against Australia's biggest contribution to climate change, despite resistance from government and industry. As well as being a powerful and symbolic action, the protest succeeded in disrupting coal exports from Newcastle Harbour.
