In the days leading up to Copenhagen, it seems that everyone has been talking about false market based climate ‘solutions’ such as carbon offsetting and trading. A couple of weeks ago, I cycled over to the Green Festival in San Francisco, put on by the non-profits Global Exchange and Green America (formerly Co-op America), to find out why carbon offsetting continues to be promoted as a solution, despite evidence that it can actually worsen emissions, and provide psychological cover for carbon-heavy lifestyles. read full story / add a comment

This morning a team of Santa's arrived at the BT offices in Bristol Temple Quay to expose the truth behind the companies pension scheme. BT pensions are funding coal mining in South Wales, where Merthyr Tydfil hosts one of Europe's largest opencast coal mines. BT Pension Scheme owns a company called Hermes who own Argent, of Miller-Argent fame - the company who operate the mine. Staff pension money is secretly being spent on coal mining.

No wonder it came as a surprise when Santa came to visit... read full story / add a comment

I just want to say 'Thanks' for all the words and deeds of support over the past months.
In this instance paticularly Kebele.
My friend J told me last night of a recent posting by some sad case slagging off the recent Kebele party.
While it's true I didn't attend [I was drunk and had an appointment with the gutter that night],
I heard afterwards what a good night it was and how so many people showed up that they had to overflow into the pub next door.
Although I've had differences with the 'ruling elite', someone critising Kebele for trowing a party while they threw a brick at Theales' window and being all self righteous about it is down right low.
I just want to ask why they burn their energy trying to destroy groups?
So to the sad case I say think on this:
just remember who's been there for right from the start and all along, supporting us through this crazy roller coaster ride.
Alternatively - SHUT THE FUCK UP. read full story / add a comment
