Fossil Fuels Day

Climate Camp hits the City of London on April Fools Day, the eve of the
G20 leaders' London Summit. Join us!

Climate camp 2009 /// Stopping carbon markets /// Because nature doesn't
do bailouts.

First the city traders speculated with our homes, jobs and money – with
disastrous results. Now they are speculating with our climate and the
very future of life on earth – and once again our governments are
cheering them on.

By creating a brain-bending system of carbon pollution licenses, fossil
fuel companies and trading firms have found a way to keep on churning
out global warming gases and to reap huge windfall profits at the same
time. Meanwhile, the UK government is justifying a third runway at
Heathrow and a coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth by saying that
these new “carbon trading” schemes will magically make all their
emissions vanish.

They are handing control of our climate over to the same people and
systems that caused the financial collapse. All the workable and fair
alternatives aren't getting a look-in.

We need to stop this foolishness.

We've camped against the Heathrow runway, we've camped against the
Kingsnorth coal power station. Now its time to camp against the
over-arching problem: absolute faith in unfettered markets and endless
economic growth. On April 1st the G20 leaders arrive in London. At a
time of climate crisis their response to the market meltdown is
emergency loans to car manufacturers, increased spending to encourage
consumption, and bailouts for the very people who got us into this mess
- just the things that will make the climate crisis worse.

Don’t let them get away with it: join our camp in the Square Mile!
Gather at noon, April 1st, at the European Climate Exchange, Hasilwood
House, 62 Bishopsgate, EC2N 4AW. Bring a pop-up tent, sleeping bag, wind
turbine, mobile cinema, action plans and ideas...let’s imagine another
world.

Don't let the financial and fossil fools make the rules!
