Dear All

Finally I got round to putting three climate change videos I made some  years ago
up on YouTube.

*Climate Change Direct Action Video*
A compilation of British direct action protests against climate change  set to a
dance track. Heart racing stuff. Actions mostly from the late  1990s and early
2000’s including: protests at the Shell Oil AGM, 2000  COP in the Hague, Coventry
Cathedral service for the centenary of the  car, Bjorn Lomborg being pied and lots
more.

*Emissions Statements
*Ordinary people talk about climate change, how they feel about it, and  what they
want to do. This is a great short video for empowering people  to take personal
action. It was made by George Marshall and Roddy  Mansfield using interviews with
people attending the Rising Tide UK  Gathering in 2000 www.risingtide.org.uk

sound problems here. I need to fiddle with it to sort it out

There’s another of my vids-*Cheeky Apocalypse *also there-its worth  watching
this video, made entirely of samples from tv during the heatwave of 2003  shows a
society in total denial of the threat of climate change and its  relation to the war in Iraq-
plus the Cheeky Girls!

Not new-& not just EPA either: government agencies-whether Depts. of Interior,
Agriculture, Commerce…govt.agencies are rife w/ this garbage-especially when
PAC-backed, pro-ordained “decisions” about things (like land-use or energy issues)
are questioned from within by people just doing their jobs.

Todd Wilkinson published a book in 1998 called “SCIENCE UNDER SIEGE: the Politicans
War Against Nature & Truth” (can’t remember publisher). In it he details the experiences of
scientists-often wimmin & POC-who caught alot of abuse for drawing conclusions contrary
to land-use & pollution-regulation decisions pushed by big industries. Beside racial &
sexist/sexual harassment, these people (& their families) were often anonymously
threatened & stalked as well. In my personal conversations with people working
“within” who were (thought to be) queer-homophobic overtones are also very prevalent (i
don’t recall that Wilkinson discussed that facet).

It would be very revealing to trace the history of the climate change issue back to the ’60s &
uncover any such patterns regarding that issue.

“Sir Ian Andrews, second permanent
under-secretary at the UK’s Ministry of Defence,
says: ‘Climate change is potentially the greatest
challenge to security that we face, in terms of
the impact that it could have globally.'”

“Anthony Zinni, a former commander of US forces
in the Middle East, warned: ‘We will pay for this
one way or another. We will pay to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions today, and we’ll have to
take an economic hit of some kind. Or, we will
pay the price later in military terms. And that
will involve human lives. There will be a human
toll.'”

At boiling point
By Fiona Harvey

Widespread food shortages in the developing world
resulting from changing weather patterns; disease
outbreaks; mass migration as people abandon farms
because of failing crops; populations fleeing
coastal areas because of sea level rises. Each of
these is a potential byproduct of climate change.
