Climate Camp -Trafalgar Square

the climate camp swoop successfully took over trafalgar square from around 4.30 this evening. here are a few pics from the early stages of the camp. the campers initially intend to remain there for 48 hours. at present, police have no immediate plans to remove them.

Hundreds of miniature refugee tents lie scattered across the Millennium Bridge, highlighting the fact that millions are being displaced by climate change, and millions more will be in future if we don't act to stop it.

Plans are afoot to pull off a daring feat of technology and collaboration and put out a stream of video during the London Climate Camp (27th of August to 2 September 2009).



Climate Camp TV will have an on-site studio and cameras out in the camp (and beyond). We will be editing on and off site, and putting out short films and shows through out the week. There will also be an open platform for people…

Seven young women dressed as Suffragettes with red sashes that read: CLIMATE CODE RED and NO NEW COAL interrupted Energy Question Time at the Labour Party Conference on Saturday 20 September.



They challenged Malcolm Wicks MP, Energy Minister, to defend his decision to build a new coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth. They were asked to leve but confronted him again as he left the conference room.

Wednesday 30th July,? the fourth day of the Climate Caravan traveling to this year's Climate Action Camp in Kingsnorth, Kent. The theme of today's leg was 'Climate & Capitalism', and so, there's probably no better place to point out the links between Climate Chaos and Capitalism's obsession with making bucks out of? the depletion of the planet's natural resources, than the Square Mile.
