Global Climate Change Action

Well you did it, Cyber Activist and with the help of Clemens Vermeulen, there is now a website that you had in mind. I hope it will be a great success and I will help you as much as I can to make it work, according to your goals. As I said in my first blog, I am happy to be here to fight for the safety of Australia, but also to stop the Global Climate Changes that we already saw recently. More and more politicians are aware now that the clock is running and action is really needed asap, NOW and not in a few years. China, Australia and the USA are not following the Kyoto Protocol as it should. But also in my country, in Europe, even if Kyoto is approuved, not much has be done so far. That is our challenge today : lobby the politicians, make a lot of noise in the news, at Indymedia, on TV, in the streets. The "soft" campaigns are obviously not working because there is too much BIG money involved and corporate dominance is getting stronger and politicians weaker. Just recently, because Greenpeace was taking peaceful action against the mighty electricity company (putting black banners and empty cans with "nuclear" garbage labels before their head office in Brussels) received the visit of 100 federal police officers in their local office the day after. The police took many documents, but also the server of the local Greenpeace office : during 30 hours the server was away at the police headquarters. The charge was "running a criminal gang", which is a very heavy charge here. It is like running a gang to take over the legal government by force and using criminal means to achieve that goal. So peaceful actions are no longer allowed here or the leaders could be charged in a very heavy way legally. Did you hear about such police actions in other parts of the world? If so, where is the freedom of speech and our democratical rights to protest?
