Anti-nuclear activists disrupt Parliamentary Select Committee
27-01-2010 14:56
This morning in Westminster, during the Department of Energy and Climate Change Parliamentary Select Committee on the proposed nuclear and other energy National Policy Statements, two anti-nuclear activists stood and unfurled a banner in the centre of the committee room reading "Local Democracy Dumped." The banner also featured radiation symbols and drums of radioactive waste. A third activist handed out briefings on why they believe nuclear power is unacceptable and an inappropriate technology for tacking climate change. The three activists were taken away and detained inside the House of Commons, along with a forth man who was taking photographs. The four were held for over two hours for alleged breaches of the House regulations, before being released and banned from the Parliamentary estate for the rest of the day.London Conference Protest Exposes Nuclear Greenwash

A talk & debate in Redditch on Wed 3 February will deal with one of the most urgent issues facing the world today. Our planet already suffers devastating damage due to intensive food production. Fertile land is turned to desert, food & water supplies are under intense pressure and yet, world population growth continues to go through the roof. Whilst governments pour resources into tackling terrorism, Global Food Security is a far more serious threat to people across the globe.Forced eviction of Mainshill Solidarity Camp under way

Letters from Haiti
19-01-2010 03:31
We all have a desire to help the people of Haiti in any way that we can. Many of us have donated money. Some of us are volunteering.Over at Delaware Liberal, we have a frequent commenter, Joanne Christian, who used an already scheduled trip to the Dominican Republic for vacation to volunteer at a 20 bed hospital in Santo Domingo that was helping 2,000 Haitian victims. At some point during her work, she decided that she should get some names of these people so that their family will know that they got out, although there is a likelihood that some of the people here have died of their injuries, or soon will.

The concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in the atmosphere is already so high that the climate system has been brought out of balance. The CO2 concentration and global temperatures have increased more rapidly in the last 50 years than ever before on Earth, and will rise even faster in the coming decades. This adds to a multitude of other serious ecological imbalances, the impacts of which threaten the lives and livelihoods of the people of the world, most acutely, impoverished people and other vulnerable groups.Titnore Woods development meeting postponed
