Bristolians, not least on this newswire, have demonstrated a clear concern in recent years with global warming, climate change, peak oil, social justice and the many related topics and issues. The present UN Summit on Climate change, followed shortly by another G20 summit trying to sort out the planet, are therefore of some importance, coming as they do just 70+ days before the 'last chance' Copenhagen climate change summit.

Rising Tide was one of many groups taking part in the Bristol Co-Mutiny week of action. While we are group of activists focussing on tackling the root causes of climate chaos we wanted to make the links with other issues and campaigns. In particular we wanted to show that the exploitation of fossil fuels by big corporate interests is resulting in mass migration, resource wars, and widespread social injustice. Like all the groups involved in Co-Mutiny, we want to confront the forces of capitalism. This is the root cause of climate chaos. Key targets in the week of action were Bristol International Airport, BT Pensions who are investing in opencast coal mining in South Wales and the big banks which finance the oil, gas, and coal industries. read full story / add a comment
