AUST: Qld budget fuels climate change

 

AUST (Brisbane): NVDA training for Climate Camp

25 May 2008 - 08:00
Etc/GMT

Hi Everyone!

The Non-violent Direct Action workshop on Sunday is shaping up
beautifully! I'm really looking forward to see you all there and and
taking action with you... even if it is only a "practice" action
(we're working hard to ensure that real police and media are there to
give it that touch of authenticity!).

I just wanted to touch base with you all to confirm the details for
sunday. I'd really appreciate a short reply to this email to confirm
your attendance.

Meet at the UQ Union Holt room (up stairs from the red room) 8AM
(sharp!) Sunday the 25th
Bring pen and paper for taking notes,
wear comfortable clothes and enclosed shoes

Aust: Camp for Climate Action July 2008, Newcastle

The camp for climate action will be five days of inspiring workshops
& direct action aimed at shutting down the world's largest coal
port in Newcastle, just north of Sydney. If you are concerned about
climate change, and want real action instead of more hot air, then we
encourage you to come, bring your friends and family and get involved.
Whether you are old or young, a seasoned protestor or if you've never
been to a protest in your life, if you share our passion for climate
action, then climate camp is for you!

Flat Earth NZ chapter reaches out to climate skeptics

We at the Flat Earth Society have spent so
many years out in the cold, shunned by Government, science and most of
society. But on Friday night a glimmer of hope appeared for us in the
form of the climate sceptic group, the NZ Climate Science Coalition.
They were hosting a talk by the Australian climate sceptic (and
stratigraphist which is about rock layering) Bob Carter, at the Royal
NZ Yacht Squadron in Auckland.
