PROTEST AGAINST ATLANTIC OIL EXPLORATION at the DTI, February 2001.
We took our 15 ft high mock oil rig to Victoria Street, outside the the Department of Trade and Industry to protest against the next round of oil
exploration licenses. The message is : more oil means more CO2 in the atmosphere and mnore destabilisation of the climate.
Wedon't need more oil : we need to leave fossil fuels in the ground and develope alternative sources of energy.
| Climate-Wreckers Must Pay ! October 2001
We picketed the Engineering Employers' Federation, in Tothill street,
WI, in protest at their lobbying against the the Climate Levy (tax on climate-destabilising CO2 polluters).
All too often the climate takes second place as soon as someone feels their interests are threatened by the measures we need to control
climate change. Our leaflets point out that the climate and the future of the planet as a habitable home for humankind- must be priority number one!
And we point out the people who are manouevering behind the scenes to put it in second place.

Protest against the WESTLB Bank and the OCP Pipeline, November 2001
We picket the palatial West LB bank in the city, for its role in financing the OCP ("Oleuducto de Crusados Pesados")
oil pipeline through rain forest in Ecuador. this has been bitterly opposed for its destructive impacts on the environment : in global warming terms it is a
'double-whammy' because not only is it increasing oil production and therefore CO2 emissions but it is also causing the destruction of old growth rain forest,
and therefore the release of the carbon 'stored' in the forest into the atmosphere. Forest destruction is a major cause of climate destabilisation.
