Our climate system is rapidly sliding into crisis, as oil companies destroy people's lives and the environment to keep sucking up their profits. Oil saturates every aspect of our lives. Oil profits lubricate the financial markets and its sponsorship clings like a bad smell to our cultural institutions. It flows through pipelines to the petrol stations, airports and factories of our cities. The failure of the UN COP15 process showed us – if there was ever any doubt – that government and industry can’t tackle climate change. It’s up to us. It’s time to up the ante. As a movement, our actions against coal and aviation have made a real difference. Now oil’s time is up. Together, on October 16, let's give the oil industry a Crude Awakening. Meet in central London. Be ready to move, to HOLD A SPACE and to leave that space in a way that shows we've been there. Be creative. Be prepared. Be there.

Crude 2010 - Liberate Tate

visionontv — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 12:06:35 +0000

Oil Painting Protest over BP sponsorship in Tate Modern Turbine Hall Liberate Tate calls for footprint of art museum to be free from Big Oil Tuesday (14 September) art activists from Liberate Tate staged a guerrilla art intervention in Tate Modern, covering the floor of the iconic Turbine Hall with dozens of litres of oil paint in protest at the museum taking sponsorship from BP. The flash mob-style event was staged a day before a Tate Board of Trustees meeting. Liberate Tate are part of a growing public movement calling on Tate's governing body to end its sponsorship agreement with the oil company. Tate's Board of Trustees has decided to review the BP corporate sponsorship. At 5pm, around 50 figures dressed in black entered the gallery each carrying a BP-branded oil paint tube. In a circle they placed the paint tubes on the floor and each stamped on one, spraying out dozens of litres of paint in a huge burst across the floor. The installation art work, 'Crude', was then signed 'Liberate Tate' and offered to Tate for its collection. Blake Williams, a participant in the performance, said: "Ten years ago tobacco companies were seen as respectable partners for public institutions. The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has brought home to an even wider public that the impact of big oil companies like BP on the environment and the global climate makes them equally unethical for an art museum, especially one that purports to demonstrate leadership in response to climate change." Tate's latest annual report (2009/10), released this month, claims "sustainability is a prime consideration throughout Tate's work". Tate reduced its energy use and overall carbon emissions last year and makes much of its partnership with the Carbon Trust and that it was a founding signatory to the national 10:10 campaign, launched at Tate Modern, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 10% in 2010. Liberate Tate said: "Tate has so far chosen to take a very narrow view of its footprint in relation to climate change and to not yet take into account its formal relationship with Big Oil. At a time when arts institutions wish to demonstrate how central the arts are in bringing social benefits to all and thus deserving of strong public funding, the museum must accept responsibility for its full impact in society." "Tate has a sponsor in BP that is engaged in socially and ecologically destructive activities. This is incompatible with Tate's ethical guidelines, its stated vision in regard to sustainability and climate change, and for maintaining Tate's reputation. In addition, its mission is undermined if visitors to Tate galleries cannot enjoy great art without the museum making them complicit in creating climate chaos. We call on the governing body to recognise this and end Tate's relationship with BP." Earlier this year Liberate Tate issued an open invitation for artists, art lovers and other concerned members of the public to act to ensure that Tate ends its oil sponsorship by the end of 2011 ahead of Tate Modern's expansion into its cleaned out underground oil tanks. "You don't abandon your friends because they have a temporary difficulty." - Nicholas Serota, Tate Director An oil spill is one thing. Destruction of entire ecosystems, massive human rights abuses and millions of deaths from climate change is another thing altogether. BP's 'difficulty' is not temporary; it is fundamental. BP is a climate criminal - pushing our civilisation to the brink of destruction in pursuit of profit. Climate Change kills hundreds of thousands of people a year and will kill many more unless we act immediately and radically to stop it. BP and the Tate should not be friends. It is long past time for the Tate to abandon BP and renounce its complicity in their crimes.

Break the Bank - Camp for Climate Action 2010

Camp for Climate Action 2010 Break the Bank! Edinburgh Four days of training and direct action: 21st--24th August The Camp for Climate Action is a grassroots movement taking direct action against the root causes of climate change. We've already had major successes with Heathrow's third runway and E.ON's plans for a new coal fired power station at Kingsnorth. This year we're targeting the Royal Bank of Scotland, one of the world's largest investor in oil, gas and coal. Last year RBS were bailed out with £50 billion of public money. From tar sands extraction in Canada to coal infrastructure here in the UK, we're paying to trash our future. These projects are not just causing catastrophic climate change, but destroying the lives and livelihoods of people across the globe. Meanwhile, we're told there is no money left in the public pot and we should be braced for decades of public sectors cuts. What are we doing about it? In August, people from across the UK will be converging to take back the power and Break the Bank! Our sustainable and collectively organised basecamp will give you the chance to learn, train up, and meet like minded individuals. Exciting action plans are also underway for those who want to get involved. So come to Edinburgh this summer! We'll see you there.

Closing BP Stations Across London

visionontv — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 18:17:43 +0000

The moment has come for BP to move beyond oil. Under Tony Hayward the company went backwards, squeezing the last drops of oil from places like the Gulf of Mexico, the tar sands of Canada and even the fragile Arctic wilderness. Greenpeace is urging new head Bob Dudley to demonstrate early leadership by announcing that BP will pull out of a trio of planned tar sands projects in Alberta which are due to be developed next year, and massively scale up the company's investment in alternative energy. http://www.greenpeace.org.uk

Yet, unless steps are taken by the U.S. and Canada, both countries will become irrevocably addicted to the dirtiest oil on earth. Totally lame.

And for all you cyclists out there, there will be a special Party at the Pumps Critical Mass making its way to the party. Meet 1PM at Marble Arch (under the arch). Get ready for sunshine, music, and dancing on the forecourt! Why target Shell? Party at the Pumps Part 2 is taking place just three days before Shells AGM, where the company will come under fire from shareholders over its plans in the Canadian tar sands; and a week before the Merthyr to Mayo solidarity bike ride, which will link two communities in Wales and Ireland resisting fossil fuel extraction. Party at the Pumps is in solidarity with communities around the world who are resisting Shells destruction of lives and livelihoods, poisoning of lands and waters, and fuelling of climate chaos. In Northern Canada, Shells tar sands projects are ignoring First Nations treaty rights, causing rare forms of cancer and killing wildlife (http://www.ienearth.org/tarsands.html). In Rossport, Ireland, a dangerous onshore pipeline and massive refinery are transforming an area of outstanding natural beauty into an environmental disaster zone with serious public health and safety implications (http://www.rossportsolidaritycamp.org). And in Nigeria, where Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight Ogoni colleagues were hung by the Nigerian state for campaigning against Shells devastation of the Niger Delta, resistance to Shell and Big Oil continues (http://www.remembersarowiwa.com). These struggles may be happening in distant places, but they are driven from Shell HQ. On May 15th, we bring the resistance to the heart of London.

BP Branding Goes Back to Black

visionontv — Sun, 04 Apr 2010 19:25:35 +0000

BP is about to join the scramble for the tar sands. 'Beyond petroleum' has become 'back to black' as BP's plunge into the most destructive extraction project on Earth makes a mockery of its own PR greenwash. On Fossil Fools day, 2010, London Rising Tide and the London Tar Sands Network decided to help BP with a rebranding strategy to reflect their renewed commitment to environmental devastation and catastrophic climate change. Unfortunately, BP's UK head office didn't appreciate the delivery of the new 'back to black' marketing materials, although they kindly decided not to press charges over the 'criminal damage' caused by the protest. Sadly no-one seems to be pressing charges against the corporations engaged in planetary scale criminal damage in the Canadian tar sands. For more information visit http://www.no-tar-sands-org

The race for the most polluting fossil fuel resource on the planet is on. Forget the Winter Olympics in Canada, the real competition for the future of the planet is here.

Naomi Klein on Secret climate deal, and the rich-poor divide over climate

visionontv — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 22:15:51 +0000

Naomi Klein and Martin Khor on the Growing North-South Divide in Copenhagen over Kyoto, Climate Debt and Emission Targets The secret draft climate agreement leaked to The Guardian newspaper yesterday sets unequal limits on per capita carbon emissions for developed and developing countries in 2050. This means that people in rich countries would be permitted to emit nearly twice as much as those in poor countries. The document also proposes a $10 billion a year fund to help developing nations cut emissions and tackle the effects of climate change. But the fund is far smaller than what many delegates say is necessary to effectively combat the effects of climate change in the most vulnerable nations.

Kopenhagen 13.12.09 - Um auf Überproduktion, Massenkonsum sowie die Produktion von klimaschädlichen Gasen aufmerksam zu machen, findet eine Demo statt. Ziel ist der Kopenhager Hafen. Denn die globale Schifffahrt ist ein Schlüsselelement eines industriellen Systems, das allein auf Wachstum und der verschwenderischen Verwendung von fossilen Brennstoffen basiert. Es soll aufgezeigt werden, dass die Produktionsweise unserer Gesellschaft die eigentliche Ursache für den Klimawandel ist und umgehend geändert werden muss. Obwohl es keine Ausschreitungen gibt, werden die DemonstrationsteilnehmerInnen schon vor dem Hafen von einem massiven Polizeiaufgebot eingekesselt und teilweise verhaftet. Team: Anna, Tilli

COP OUT: Climate Camp in Trafalgar Square

visionontv — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 10:34:31 +0000

Climate Camp occupies Trafalgar Square to protest against the corporation-friendly 'solutions' to climate change that will be touted at the COP 15 Climate Conference in Copenhagen. Market solutions (ie scams) such as carbon offset schemes are a dangerous distraction from this 11th hour chance to prevent runaway climate change. The only effective solution is to decarbonise our economies as fast as possible and leave the rest of the planet's fossil fuel stockpiles in the ground. Everything else is lip gloss. Climate 'sceptics': even if you believe 'climategate' proves that climate change science is an antichrist conspiracy, the speedy replacement of fossil fuels is of utmost importance if humanity is to weather the approaching crisis of peak oil. Relying on dirty energy sources such as tar sands will be an environmental disaster even without the very possible catastrophe of 6 degrees of warming For Christ's sake leave fossil fuels in the ground before we become fossil fuels ourselves. The Saudi royal family: f off.

Every form of rebellion we know, from protest marches to lock-ons, barricades to boycotts, factory occupations to street parties, super glue actions to climate camps was invented, dreamt up and designed. More often than not, by a small group of people huddled together, laughing and creatively conspiring with each other; engineering the art of resistance. The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination and Climate Camp are plotting together to design and build a new tool of civil disobedience for the RECLAIM POWER mobilisations taking place in Copenhagen, during the UN climate summit in December. Made from hundreds of recycled bikes, The Bike Bloc will merge device of mass transportation and pedal powered resistance machine, postcapitalist bike gang and art bike carnival. Bike hackers, welders, climate campers, artists and engineers will be working together to design and build The Bike Bloc across two cities: Bristol (Arnolfini Gallery 15th 30th Nov.) and Copenhagen (4th- 18th Dec.) Come and take part, either designing and building the prototype in Bristol, putting together the real thing in Copenhagen or swarming with us on the day of civil disobedience on the 16th of December. *Put the fun between your legs, become the bike bloc.* For times and how to get involved: http://funbetweenyourlegs.info bikebloc@climatecamp.org.uk
