from ben up chimney: so g8 starts today. big chance to make a push for the right climate deal
#climateactionfrom ben: so far our illustrious leaders appear not up to g8 climate challenge
#climateactionNot only are we preventing the feed of coal into the power plant here, but we are preparing to "write" "Stupid" on the massive chimney stack. Given that we are teetering on the verge of triggering catastrophic climate change, and coal is the single biggest source of greenhouse pollution, continuing to burn coal is a pretty stupid thing to do, especially when there are ready-made solutions such a renewable energy ready to replace coal.
