Catastrophe faces our planet because of climate change. A whole number of studies, reports and films such as Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth have highlighted this fact. In February of this year, a report written by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) showed that temperatures could rise as much as 6.4OC by the end of this century. Already climate change has resulted in the doubling of category four and five storms in the last 30 years, while arctic ice has thinned by 40% in the last 40 years. While climate change effects our planet as a whole, it is the world’s workers and poor who will bear the brunt. If major action is not taken to halt climate change then 600 million more people in sub-Saharan Africa will go hungry from collapsing agriculture, 400 million more will be exposed to malaria and 200 million people will be forced to migrate due to rising sea levels, according to the United Nations Development Programme...... read full story / add a comment

"Ho, ho, ho - have some bloody Coke" Murder, torture, kidnapping and illegal detention by violent paramilitaries, frequently aided by bottling plant management, has been the tragic reality for Coca-Cola's Colombian employees for 2 decades now. Members of the SINALTRAINAL trade union ordinary employees carry a death sentence around their necks. Yet an appeal from Javier Correra, president of their union - “We want justice. We want people to know the truth about what is going on in Colombia against Coke workers. Now that you know, will you please help us?” - has not fallen on deaf ears. read full story / add a comment

The Rites of Passage religious exhibit is currently closed, which was mesmeric in it's disection of the hypnosis of world religion, if one could avoid the big screens the bits of the Nag Hammadi Gospel and huge Buddhist Mandalas were worth a visit. '100 aspects of the Moon' is the current exhibition and every single print has a bit of moon in it- on Helmets, behind women (!) and accomnpanying dark and scary warriors. You could say there are many moons. The Chester Beatty is located in the Grounds of Dublin Castle and is far better than the auction house that comprises the State apartments, where Sarkozy will be welcomed to persuade the unsuae celts about his Reform Treaty.[2008] read full story / add a comment

Today a joint ‘Rabbit’ from the Animal Rights Action Network turned up outside of Brown Thomas’s flagship store on Grafton Street to celebrate the long awaited campaign victory of the up market department store going fur free from February 2008. Joined by other ARAN members the giant ‘rabbit’ uncorked a bottle of champagne to crowds of onlookers whilst cheering ‘Brown Thomas Now Fur Free’ another member also held a sign saying the same! Luckily the campaign event on Dublin’s busiest shopping street was being covered by Ireland’s top media outlets. read full story / add a comment

I was a bit taken aback to find that their is no coverage of this case on indymedia. Well here are the basics with some links, make of it what you will. Bilal Hussein was employed by Associated Press to photograph events in Iraq. With no previous experience of photography, he went on to win a Pulitzer Prize for his efforts. read full story / add a comment

éirígí say NO to Lisbon Treaty While European Union heads of state were gathering in Lisbon today, to sign away the sovereignty of their respective states, the removal vans were arriving in Dublin to cart off the last vestiges of the Twenty Six County state’s independence. In a bold visual display éirigí launched its ‘NO TO LISBON’ campaign outside Leinster House today. The centrepiece of the launch was a mock-up ‘EU NO_TO_LISBON Removals’ van sporting the slogan ‘Experts in the Removal of Independence, Democracy & Neutrality’. The vehicle pulled up outside Leinster House to highlight the fact that ratification of the Lisbon Treaty will mean the end of the already limited form of national democracy within all EU states. read full story / add a comment
