<br />
Climate change is now accepted reality. Leading scientists across the world agree that we have less than 10 years to prevent a 2-3 degree rise in temperature that will lead to irreversible climatic changes with grim consequences for our planet. But in a world driven by profit and committed to unlimited economic growth, humanity seems unwilling to change the course of the fossil fuel economy. <strong>In Australia, coal exports are the biggest contribution to global climate change - producing as much greenhouse pollution as all domestic sources combined. </strong>The time to act is now...<br />
<br />
<strong>This Saturday (14th June), at 2pm</strong>, Jura Books is showing Reclaim Power - an inspiring short <strong>documentary film </strong>about the 2006 UK Climate Camp. 600 people set up a 10 day camp culminating in mass direct action against one of the biggest C02 emitters in Europe: Drax coal-fired power station in Yorkshire. The film will be followed by discussion and a talk from Holly Creenaune (member of <strong>Friends of the Earth Sydney</strong> and of the <strong>climate camp organising collective</strong>).<br />
<br />
We're showing the film in the lead up to the <a href="http://www.climatecamp.org.au/">Camp for Climate Action in Newcastle</a>, which is on from <strong>10th-15th July.</strong> Why not come along to this important action? Another event in the lead up to the Camp is a public forum on Thursday June 19th at Footbridge Theatre, University of Sydney, 6.30pm. <strong>George Monbiot</strong> will be speaking - UK author of <em>Heat</em>, <em>The Age of Consent </em>and <em>Bring on the Apocalypse</em>; <em>Guardian</em> journalist and activist. He will speak about fossil fuels in the growth economy and peaceful direct action in the movement to stop climate change.<br />
<br />
History has shown everyday people can create change through direct action. The Camp for Climate Action will be one such opportunity.<br />
<br />
There's also another great event on at Jura this weekend, from 1pm, <strong>Sunday (15th June)</strong>: Every letter a bullet - <strong>a punk gig benefit show for Jura and Black Rose</strong>. Bands include Hee-Haw, Voting with Bricks, Melaleuca Memorial, Do not resuscitate, and Squid. $5 donation. Rockin.<br />
<br />
