Walk Against Warming 2009

On 12 December 2009, midway through the Copenhagen Climate Summit, there will be a global day of climate action where people all over the world take to the streets to urge their leaders to cut greenhouse pollution.

This year's walk is more important than ever, as the world's big, immensely wealthy greenhouse companies and their legion of lobbyists run campaigns around the globe to soften the impact of domestic laws on climate change.

Join the 2009 Walk Against Warming
1pm Saturday 12 December,
Martin Place, Sydney.

Are you ready
to take direct
action against coal?

2009 Climate Camp

Climate Camp in Newcastle last year saw 1600 people come together to build a strong community climate movement to stand up to dirty coal.

This year, Australia is hosting four Climate Camps.

In NSW, the Climate Camp will be from Friday 9th to Sunday 11th October in Helensburgh, just 40 minutes south of Sydney.

Come for an hour, an afternoon, a day or all three days, or just for the action on Sunday 11th ...   more

Doing Democracy by Bill Moyer

On Saturday 13 June we attended the National Climate Emergency Rally in Sydney, with about two thousand other people.

In a city of over 4 million, the turnout was deeply disappointing.

Then we remembered the book we had come across five years ago when we first started this letter writing campaign.

It was called Doing Democracy by Bill Moyer, and it described the 8 stages that movements for social change go through on their road to success.

National Climate Rally

Time to Walk Our Talk, Folks

The National Climate Emergency Rally has been organized to give an opportunity for Australians, appalled by the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) in its current form, to stand up for stronger government action on climate change.

In Sydney, the Rally will begin with speakers and stalls at 10am at Barangaroo (The Hungry Mile).

From 11am, we will march through The Rocks and Circular Quay, finishing in Phillip St about midday.

2008 Walk Against Warming

On Friday 27 March, community climate action groups and environment organisations across Australia are taking action to urge the government to improve the proposed Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS).

Australians concerned about climate change will be gathering outside their local Federal members' electoral offices, to voice their concerns about the inadequacy of the proposed CPRS to deliver swift and effective emissions reductions.

We urge you to be part of this action ...   more

United Nations - Climate Change Conference - Dec 07 - Dec 18 2009

In December 2009 in Copenhagen, the UN Climate Change Conference will be held to attempt to reach agreement on how to handle climate change.

In an unprecedented move, scientists are to hold an emergency summit in Copenhagen in March in a deliberate attempt to influence policy.

So what can we do to step up the pressure?

Walk Against Warming 2008

Since the global financial crisis, almost all mention of climate change has disappeared from the media.

However, the reality of climate change has not disappeared.

It is still the greatest threat to life on Earth, with far greater and more long-reaching impacts than the financial crisis.

Join the 2008 Walk Against Warming on Saturday 15 November.
Never, Ever
Give Up

As Winston Churchill famously said –
'Never, Ever Give Up.'

Walk Against Warming

With a new Federal government in power, it is tempting to think we could leave them to take appropriate action now and get back to our own affairs.

However, Guy Pearse, in his book High and Dry, which blew the whistle on the Greenhouse Mafia, says:

"Whatever the election outcome, we should not make the mistake of assuming that it will resolve the issue.   more

Democracy

Soon after the Citizens Climate Campaign began, we came across a book called Doing Democracy by Bill Moyer.

It described the 8 stages that movements for social change go through on their road to success.

We found this information very comforting, particularly in the early days when there was so little public awareness of global warming, and no political acceptance.
