Change the system - not the climate!
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/2007/696/36163>

Al Gore’s film An Inconvenient Truth has helped dramatise the enormity
of the global environmental crisis... But Gore focuses on individual
actions, makes few serious demands on big business and endorses the
largely voluntary market-based measures, such as emissions trading, that
are contained in Kyoto. Yet, what is required is the rapid, far-reaching
reorganisation of industry, energy, transport and mass consumption
patterns, and the massive transfer of clean technology to the Third
World. This is simply not possible under capitalism.

John Pilger: Genocide in Gaza
<http://www.greenleft.org.au/2007/696/36148>

PALESTINE: A genocide is engulfing the people of Gaza while a silence
engulfs its bystanders. “Some 1.4 million people, mostly children, are
piled up in one of the most densely populated regions of the world, with
no freedom of movement, no place to run and no space to hide”, wrote
senior UN relief official Jan Egeland and Jan Eliasson, then Swedish
foreign minister, in Le Figaro. They described people “living in a
cage”, cut off by land, sea and air, with no reliable power and little
water, and tortured by hunger and disease and incessant attacks by
Israeli troops and planes.
