Peakfood in the Yorkshire Post

Peak Food | 05-12-2007 22:26 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Sheffield

Yesterday

http://www.Peakfood.co.uk/ had an article published on pages 10 and 11 of The Yorkshire Post’s Country Week (thanks to Michael Hickling!) It mainly discussed price increases and the threats to future food production.

What Will We Eat as the Oil Runs Out?

Our global food system faces a crisis of unprecedented scope. This crisis, which threatens to imperil the lives of hundreds of millions and possibly billions of human beings, consists of four simultaneously colliding dilemmas, all arising from our relatively recent pattern of dependence on depleting fossil fuels.

Urgent: National Grid to close Woodhead Tunnel

Lewin | 15-11-2007 22:55 | Climate Chaos | Sheffield

National Grid, the owners of the Woodhead Tunnel near Longdendale, are to put the Tunnel beyond use in February 2008. Although the Tunnel and attendant railway line have been formally closed for 26 years, they could be resurrected very quickly if cheap, fast, sustainable transport was really important. We must act to stop the closure of the tunnel.

Yorkshire Forward, Yorkshire's Regional Development Agency which famously starves grass roots community initiatives of funds whilst giving millions to big business, today held a flooding "summit".

Workers Power | 25-07-2007 13:33 | Climate Chaos | Oxford | Sheffield

On Friday 20 July, two months rain fell in 24 hours over the Midlands and southern England. More rains are forecast. Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire were the worst effected areas.

But what is the working class solution?

13 arrested at Rio Tinto-Alcan smelter blockade

ICELAND: Today about 20 protesters climbed cranes and blocked access to the Rio Tinto-Alcan smelter in Hafnarfjordur. 13 were arrested and one is still being held hostage by the police in Reykjavik. Saving Iceland has organized a 'summer of dissent' as a part of a campaign against the war-mongering aluminum industry and their subservient pets in Government.

The struggle continues with Iceland's second Critical Mass this Friday.
