| New documentary Grasp The Nettle shows how state inaction on climate change fosters direct action on society's margins
Two years before the Occupy movement sprang forth in New York and London, a motley group of land rights activists occupied a piece of disused land in west London to create an alternative model of moneyless, sustainable living. Little did they know they were about to embark on an extraordinary journey, at once harrowing and inspiring, that would take them into the heart of Westminster.
Dean Puckett 's new documentary, Grasp the Nettle , follows the bewildering and even amusing exploits of this group over a one year and three month period. The result is a powerful film which raises often unsettling questions - not just about the draconian trajectory of state policy, but about the potential pitfalls of activism.
"We are creating an ecovillage community in the heart of this urban environment so we can promote and project a new way of living."
So declares the unofficial ... |

World's poorest will feel brunt of climate change, warns World Bank
|
19.6.2013 |
Guardian: Science |
| Droughts, floods, sea-level rises and fiercer storms likely to undermine progress in developing world and hit food supply
Millions of people around the world are likely to be pushed back into poverty because climate change is undermining economic development in poor countries, the World Bank has warned.
Droughts, floods, heatwaves, sea-level rises and fiercer storms are likely to accompany increasing global warming and will cause severe hardship in areas that are already poor or were emerging from poverty, the bank said in a report.
Food shortages will be among the first consequences within just two decades, along with damage to cities from fiercer storms and migration as people try to escape the effects.
In sub-Saharan Africa, increasing droughts and excessive heat are likely to mean that within about 20 years the staple crop maize will no longer thrive in about 40% of current farmland. In other parts of the region rising temperatures will kill or degrade swaths of the savanna used to ... |

Weather experts to discuss unusual UK seasons

The Guardian -- Front Page |
| Meteorologists and scientists to try to figure out if icy winters and wet summers are due to natural variation or climate change
Leading scientists and meteorologists are meeting at the Met Office to discuss the UK's unusual weather patterns in recent years .
Experts will discuss the reasons for 2010's icy winter, last year's washout summer and this year's spring, which is set to be the coldest in more than 50 years.
Discussions at the Met Office in Exeter on Tuesday will seek to answer whether the unusual seasons were the result of natural variation or linked to the effects of climate change, such as melting Arctic sea ice.
Stephen Belcher, head of the Met Office Hadley Centre and chairman of the workshop, said: "We have seen a run of unusual seasons in the UK and northern Europe, such as the cold winter of 2010, last year's wet weather and the cold spring this year.
"This may be nothing more than a run of natural variability, but there may be other factors impacting our weather. ... |

Bloomberg set to roll out New York composting plan for food waste

The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Mayor set to cross 'final recycling frontier' with city-wide plan to handle up to 100,000 tons of food waste a year
The mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, is preparing to roll out a new composting plan for the city, aimed at diverting some of the 100,000 tons of food scraps that ends up in landfill every year.
Bloomberg, who is due to leave office early next year, has called food waste the "final recycling frontier". Now it appears New York is moving towards that line, testing pilot projects in some neighbourhoods in preparation for a city-wide composting plan.
The city has hired a composting plant to handle up to 100,000 tons of food scraps a year – or about 10% of the city's total food waste, according to the New York Times, , which first reported the story.
Last April, about 100 city restaurants joined a voluntary composting plan, the food waste challenge. By next year, 150,000 households will be on board along with 100 high-rise buildings and 600 schools. The entire city could be ... |

Could the world's biggest marine sanctuary be declared in the Antarctic? | Graham Readfearn

17.6.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Proposals will go before a commission next month to help protect thousands of species in Antarctic waters
An extraordinarily big thing might happen in the world of marine conservation next month at a meeting in Germany of a little known international commission.
And while you probably haven't read much about it, the outcome could see the creation of the two largest areas of protected ocean on the planet that would lock out fishing from more than 1.5 million square kilometres of ocean around the Antarctic.
The areas in question – the Ross Sea and coastal areas in East Antarctica – are almost untouched by the often-clumsy hands of human progress and give a home to thousands of marine species.
Across the two areas are about a million pairs of Adélie penguins, more than a dozen species of whale, more than a third of the world's population of emperor penguins, abundant krill and fish species and the Ross Sea region's top predator – the toothfish, which can grow to two metres weighing 200 ... |

Climate science debate has cost precious time, expert warns

17.6.2013 |
Guardian: Environment |
| Commission report says evidence of rapidly changed climate has strengthened
Floods, bushfires and this year's scorching summer heatwave have raised awareness of the dangers of climate change, but an "infantile" debate over the validity of the science has cost Australia precious time, according to a key Climate Commission expert.
The commission, an independent body that advises the government on climate science , has updated its 2011 The Critical Decade study to analyse the latest findings on climate change and Australia's response to it.
The report is likely to be the Climate Commission's last major contribution if, as expected, the Coalition wins power at the 14 September election. Opposition leader Tony Abbott has signalled that he will scrap the commission , along with the carbon price, if he becomes prime minister.
The commission's updated analysis states that evidence of a "rapidly changing climate has continued to strengthen over the last two years", including, importantly, the ... |

'PetroKoch': an art project for the Metropolitan Museum | Jeff McMahon

16.6.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| As David Koch gets his name on the Met's new plaza, why not add Detroit's pile of his tar-sands sludge as an installation?
In Fall 2014, the David H Koch Plaza at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City will be revealed, the entire $65m project paid for by David H Koch .
In the spirit of repurposing, recycling, and synergy, might the Met acknowledge Koch's further contributions by moving the ever-growing black mound of tar-like petroleum coke , owned by Koch and his brother Charles through their company Koch Carbon and currently dumped in Detroit's Assumption Park, to the Met's new Plaza? What more fitting tribute to the Brothers Koch than the gooey byproducts of their billion-dollar industry? What a stunning salute to the American supply chain; another Koch Brother, William, owns Oxbow Corporation, which deals in … petrocoke, a long-lasting reminder that Koch family values have real value.
Looking to extend their legacy into perpetuity (such by-products requiring a very long time ... |

On the Praterstern, where cars, buses and trams converge from several busy streets on a road that loops around Vienna's central train station, a new digital counter stands under the eye of the Riesenrad Ferris wheel.
It's about the size of a bus stop advertising hoarding and picks out passing bicycle wheels from a sensor in the pavement.
With a rumpled grey overcoat over his suit and a cycling helmet covering his grey hair, Wolfgang Dvorak excitedly explains that the 2,072 figure on display marks the number of bicycles that have passed this point so far today. "This is great, great! Measuring cyclists is making cycling visible, making people notice," says Dvorak. "It's very important, especially at city crossings like this. Just 14 days ago it was done, and the marking of the cycle lane here and the cycle signing. This is showing people that Vienna is ... |

Al Gore says Obama must veto 'atrocity' of Keystone XL tar sands pipeline

The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Former vice-president says oil pipeline is 'really a losing proposition' and demands climate plan promised at inauguration
Al Gore has called on Barack Obama to veto the Keystone XL tar sands pipeline, describing it as "an atrocity".
The former vice-president said in an interview on Friday that he hoped Obama would follow the example of British Columbia, which last week rejected a similar pipeline project, and shut down the Keystone XL.
"I certainly hope that he will veto that now that the Canadians have publicly concluded that it is not safe to take a pipeline across British Columbia to ports on the Pacific," he told the Guardian. "I really can't imagine that our country would say: 'Oh well. Take it right over parts of the Ogallala aquifer', our largest and most important source of ground water in the US. It's really a losing proposition."
Campaigners have cast Keystone XL as the most important decision of Obama' presidency. The State Department, which has say over the project because ... |

Al Gore: NSA's secret surveillance program 'not really the American way'

Guardian: Science |
| Former vice-president – not persuaded by argument that program was legal – urges Congress and Obama to amend the laws
The National Security Agency's blanket collection of US citizens' phone records was "not really the American way", Al Gore said on Friday, declaring that he believed the practice to be unlawful.
In his most expansive comments to date on the NSA revelations , the former vice-president was unsparing in his criticism of the surveillance apparatus, telling the Guardian security considerations should never overwhelm the basic rights of American citizens.
He also urged Barack Obama and Congress to review and amend the laws under which the NSA operated.
"I quite understand the viewpoint that many have expressed that they are fine with it and they just want to be safe but that is not really the American way," Gore said in a telephone interview. "Benjamin Franklin famously wrote that those who would give up essential liberty to try to gain some temporary safety deserve neither ... |

Guardian: Environment |
| Around 200 people occupied one of London's key financial districts as part of a range of anti-G8 protests
One of London's key financial districts saw its biggest ever protest on Friday as an estimated 200 people occupied Canary Wharf to protest against public spending cuts and lack of action against climate change.
Among the protesters were pensioners, children, people with disabilities, a brass band, musicians and a range of groups including Fuel Poverty Action, Disabled People Against Cuts, the Greater London Pensioners Association, No Dash for Gas and UK Uncut.
A spokeswoman for the event said: "We picked Canary Wharf because it's a symbol of out-of-control neoliberal capitalism. It's completely private property where protests have been outlawed. We've come here because we want to pull together anti-capitalist, climate and anti-austerity struggles."
The owner of Canary Wharf has previously taken legal action and put in place security measures to prevent protests in home of ... |

Pakistan can expect worse heatwaves to come, meteorologists warn
|
14.6.2013 |
The Guardian -- World Latest |
| Recent extreme temperatures that are commonly followed by floods can largely be attributed to climatic warming
Near-record temperatures in Pakistan have claimed hundreds of lives and devastated crops in the third major heatwave in four years. But as temperatures on Friday dipped to under 38C (100F), signalling the end of nearly four weeks of blistering heat, leading meteorologists warned that the country could expect longer, more intense and more frequent events in future.
Qamar-uz-Zaman Chaudhry , a vice-president of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and former director of Pakistan's Met Office, said the recent extreme summer temperatures that are commonly followed by massive floods could largely be attributed to climatic warming. "If we look at the frequency and the trend of the extreme weather events impacting Pakistan then it is easy to find its link with climate change," he said.
Chaudhry, who wrote Pakistan's climate change policy, authored a report in 2013 that showed ... |
