ON MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, WE WILL TAKE ACTION.

Let Us Know You Are Coming to DC

Join us in Washington, DC, the Nation’s Capitol, to speak truth to power! Join in planning powerful actions so that we can have the greatest impact on U.S. and global policy makers.

Between 14 and 21 August, climate activists are meeting for the 2007 Camp for Climate Action, next to London's international Heathrow
airport, UK. The weak and
limited injunction sought by BAA, the company that runs Heathrow, was unable to deter the gathering.

Actions so far have included
the occupation of Carmel Agrexco,
XL Airways, the
Department of Transport, and Heathrow's
World Freight Centre. Local workers at Nippon
Express Cargo have also called a strike which was supported by Climate Camp activists. Solidarity actions have
been launched at a number of local airports throughout the UK, including Bristol, Biggin Hill and Farnborough.

More mass actions are expected on Sunday and Monday. Besides the protests, the Climate Camp aims to be an example of a low-impact living with hot showers run by solar panels, a grey water recycling system and compost toilets. Indymedia UK reports on the

latest news about the Climate Camp and have setup up a
field IMC
on site, powered by wind generators and solar arrays.

Greetings from Black Mesa Indigenous Support (BMIS),

We have several calls for support that we want to relay on behalf of The People on 'The

Land' (Black Mesa). You may have heard that the decades-long 'Land Dispute' has been

resolved.

Indeed, there have been messages coming from the political establishment that are quite a bit

different from the daily life of the People on The Land but this is nothing new. The Dine’

(Navajo) families that we work with are still struggling under Federally backed Hopi/Bureau

of Indian Affairs jurisdiction.

Over the weekend of 3-4 Feb 2007, actions across the UK and beyond targeted dangerous 'greenwash' being desperately pushed by corporations and politicians. The actions came in the wake of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released on Friday, which warned of world temperature rises of over 6C by the end of the century. The report indicated that a 4 degree rise would mean a 10% loss in global food production due to draught, flooding, water shortages. While the world slowly wakes up to the magnitude of climate chaos, Shell and Exxon Mobil last week announced record breaking profits. With the figures laid out so clearly, the nauseating hypocrisy spouted by corporations and politicians has spurred action from Paris to Aberdeen.

Burnham, Sanostee & Nenanezah Elders and citizens are braving the cold to protect the land from the encroaching Diné Power Authority (DPA) and Sithe Global LLC at the proposed Desert Rock site. Navajo residents confronted the Diné Power Authority/Sithe Global on Tuesday afternoon after learning of water drilling that had been occurring without the knowledge and notification of local residents.

Sithe Global & DPA are proposing to build the Desert Rock power plant, a 1,500 MW Coal Fired plant in the Four Corners area on the Navajo Reservation. This is an area already polluted by 2 other major coal power plants. Local Navajo residence and community members oppose this project for many harmful reasons!! This Desert Rock power plant is still in the environmental review process and has NOT yet been permitted.

Nov 4 (or thereabouts) will see potentially hundreds of thousands of people on the street demanding government action on climate change. Actions range between cyber-actions and "turn-off" boycotts, to street marches to pickets and blockades of carbon-producing industries, as the people of the world see the increasing effects of climate change hitting home.

This week the UN released a report saying the evidence for climate change is "far more robust" than ever before.[1] A landmark report by UK Economist Nicolas Stern [2] has shook up the world with it's dire predictions of economic catastrophe. However dire as the cash-flow effect of climate change might be, we need to remember, as George Monbiot says, that "The principal costs of climate change will be measured in lives, not pounds" [3]

Protesters Occupy Ledge Above Federal Agency
To Demand Action on Global Warming
Standoff with Police Occurs at NOAA Headquarters in Silver Spring, MD; Protesters Block Main Entrance, Denounce Bush Climate Policies

See photos of the ongoing protest at www.climateemergency.org

Activists have dramatically occupied the entrance to a federal building in an act of civil disobedience meant to parallel the great urgency of global warming.

With the impacts of climate change spiraling out of control in the form of wildfires, heat waves, hurricanes, floods, and sea-level rise, protesters gathered this morning at the headquarters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Silver Spring, MD to demand an immediate change in U.S. policy toward fossil fuels.

I recently visited the Carteret Islands, 100 km north east of Bougainville, having heard that they were suffering badly from rising seas caused by global warming. All 6 of the islands in the group are being badly damaged and the islands look like making history as the first atoll to be abandoned due to rising seas. Food crops have been destroyed, houses have been washed away and malaria is now the most common cause of children dying.

Until World War Two the Carterets were seven islands. They were reduced to 6 after one was obliterated in a bombing raid. Now there are 7 again, as one of them – Huene – has been bisected by rising seas.
