Ongoing Open Cast Coal Mine Occupation, Derbyshire - update from court

Forward | 04-07-2008 17:16 | Climate Camp 2008 | Climate Chaos | Sheffield

The first attempt to evict the occupiers of Bodge House on 30th June was a spectacular flop. The registered owner of the site is Harworth Mining International Limited. The outfit applying for a possession order are Harworth Estates (Agricultural Land -Trashing Of) Limited. OK, we added the "Trashing Of" bit to that otherwise bucolic title, but otherwise report what is alleged to be just a change of name yer honour. Their problem was they hadn't bothered to give the court any actual proof of this supposed change of name.

2007 Ulley reservoir danger could have led to a "breakdown in social cohesion"

Chris | 30-06-2008 19:22 | Climate Chaos | History | Sheffield

Interesting article in the Independent today, "MI5: revealing areas at mercy of collapsing dams is a terror threat"

http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/mi5-revealing-areas-at-mercy-of-collapsing-dams-is-a-terror-threat-854325.html

Some extracts follow, basically if the damn had burst last year Sheffield would have had no electricity for "an indefinite period" and also the "main 42-inch gas main serving Sheffield" would have been taken out.

Radio Ecoshock on James Hansen on Climate Criminals

NASA scientist James Hansen shakes up Capitol Hill (and the media) with explosive testimony to the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Climate Change. For one thing, he thinks oil industry executives who purposely (and secretly) fund groups to confuse the public about climate science – should be charged with crimes against humanity.

Climate Change: The lost generation, and possibly much more

Read the article Rising seas threaten west Antarctic, and it’s all but impossible to think, yet again, of all the chances to take serious, desperately needed action on CO2 emissions that we’ve thrown away over the last twenty years. What could trigger such a bout of depressing navel staring?

Leave it in the Ground’s Picnic in the Park trespass report

Leave it in the Ground | 28-05-2008 15:33 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Sheffield

Around 70 people had set of to travel on a bank holiday Monday which is no easy task as public transport has a natural tendency not to run or has a limited service on bank holidays, for a picnic in a remote part of Derbyshire. The weather reports had all predicted thundery showers for the day, which seems to be normal for a bank holiday outing.
