Is climate action at a tipping point?
Tipping Point | 12.10.2009 13:00 | Climate Chaos | Energy Crisis | Social Struggles | South Coast | World
“Due to the financial situation, which affects Dong Energy especially on the power production side – due to less sale and falling prices – Dong Energy has decided to strengthen its capital structure, which includes reducing investments in the coming years.”
Although the recession is obviously playing a large roll in all of this, it appears that the dominos are falling and climate activism reaching a tipping point in momentum. Lets hope we become unstoppable before catastrophic climate change does.

how much longer will life still be here if we await the revolution before acting?

Looks like npower, Scottish Power and Peel are now emerging as the main culprits still hoping to build new coal power stations:

It's not like climate change, the arms trade or vivisection are affecting people, animals and the climate now, we should just wait until after the revolution.

Yes capitalism still reigns, but how do we demolish it? By taking out a brick at a time wherever we can find one loose? By fantasising about what we could do with a bulldozer if we had one? By sitting around waiting for it to fall down of its own accord? I'll opt for the first.
We shouldn't undervalue our achievements, but a rational distinction between them and the temporary amelioration of bad stuff through the bankers cock-ups is required.
