Devonport Dockyard in Plymouth was blockaded on the morning of 1 November in an action called by the Plymouth-based Trident Ploughshares (TP) group, The Tamarians.

The yard is also increasingly becoming the dumping ground for old and out of service nuclear submarines, posing a further radioactive contamination hazard to the quarter of a million people who live nearby.

Books such as Merchants of Doubt by science historians Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway have detailed how front groups for the fossil-fuel industry have been waging an orchestrated, well-funded campaign against climate science and climate scientists for more than two decades. Hacking into the CRU's email was simply the latest skirmish in this war against science, timed to forestall any progress towards lowering carbon emissions at the Copenhagen climate conference being held about a month later. ... read full story / add a comment

Urgent appeal to sign the petition for the granting of asylum to the Iranian hunger strikers in Athens, Greece. The aforementioned petition is addressed to the defaulting government of The Hellenic Republic: It is requested that it should comply with peremptory norms of International Law--in accordance with the European Union's Regulations and Directives, and the Statement by the Head of the Office of The United Nations High Commission for the Refugees in Greece--and grant asylum to the hunger strikers, who have already manifested alarming effects on their health due to the prolonged hunger strike. ... read full story / add a comment |
