Quite apart from the urgent issues it confronts, #ClimateCamp is simply a joyous place to be. You get to learn, eat delicious food, take action, dance, work, and socialise with some of the best folks around. Everyone who can, should go! Learn to weave, tan eel skins, support Palestine, fight colonialism/capitalism and camp in a field!

#Fash much, #UK? #Preemptive arrests of #ClimateActivists, but it's perfectly fine to be a #FarRight #AntiImmigrant #Fascist?

Mass pre-emptive arrest of #ReclaimThePower #activists in #Yorkshire

Aug 8, 2024

22 held as police foil plot to bring #CompostToilets and #wheelchair track to #Drax #ClimateCamp

"UPDATE 13.30: the climate camp has now been cancelled

"Officers from the Metropolitan police this morning led local forces in a raid on Bentley Urban Farm in Doncaster, said eye witnesses. They arrested twenty two activists, who were preparing to transport infrastructure, sanitation and accessibility equipment to the upcoming climate camp at Drax power station.

"Crashing sounds were heard from outside the site as vehicles and equipment were impounded. The detainees were taken to York police station, where they are being held for conspiracy charges: in this case, to interfere with key national infrastructure at Drax Power Station in Selby between 8 and 13 August. Media repeated the police’s claim they are “not against protest but against crime”.

"This morning’s pre-emptive arrests, ahead of a peaceful protest, contrast sharply with the State’s failure to foil recent far right violence, said Reclaim the Power. 'Black and Brown communities are under attack with fire and bricks and the police have made the unfathomable decision to divert resources away from those communities to arrest 22 people taking equipment to make a peaceful climate protest safe and accessible', said the group in a statement."

#BentleyUrbanFarm (#BUF) is an AWARD-WINNING #UpcycleMarketGarden in #Bentley, #Doncaster

Pigs 🐷 🐷 pretend they can't control their friends in the #farright (in my opinion, it's intentional), who are destroying the country, but these uniformed scum have nothing better to do but to arrest 22 activists who were preparing to transport infrastructure, sanitation and ACCESSIBILITY EQUIPMENT to an upcoming #climatecamp at #Drax power station.

The 22 activists were taken to #YorkStation and held on 'conspiracy charges'

If you're at the @systemchangecamp #SystemChangeCamp #climatecamp - I'll talk about the problems with Green Electricity and Double Counting at 11:15 programm.infraunited.org/scc24

programm.infraunited.orgThe problem with Green Electricity and Double Counting // Das Problem mit Ökostrom und Doppelzählung System Change Camp 2024Green electricity tariffs promise that people can contribute to the energy transition with their consumption choices. Green electricity tariffs are particularly popular in Germany, and there are many companies that advertise their use of renewable energy. These green electricity tariffs are based on a European system of certificates, so-called guarantees of origin for renewable energy. These certificates often come from countries that already use very high amounts of renewable energy - like Iceland or Norway. In those countries, companies also often advertise their use of green electricity. But that green electricity was already "sold" via these certificates. It is counted twice. The speaker has investigated these issues and was able to show such double counting of green electricity in Iceland and Norway. These investigations led to a temporary ban of icelandic certificate exports, however, that ban was lifted after a short amount of time, although nothing has changed. * Background article in Englisch https://industrydecarbonization.com/news/the-trouble-with-european-green-electricity-certificates.html * Background article in German https://www.golem.de/news/herkunftsnachweise-oekostrom-darf-wieder-zweimal-verkauft-werden-2312-180478.html // Ökostromtarife versprechen, dass die Menschen mit ihren Verbrauchsentscheidungen einen Beitrag zur Energiewende leisten können. Ökostromtarife sind in Deutschland besonders beliebt, und es gibt viele Unternehmen, die mit der Nutzung von erneuerbaren Energien werben. Diese Ökostromtarife basieren auf einem europäischen System von Zertifikaten, sogenannten Herkunftsnachweisen für erneuerbare Energien. Diese Zertifikate stammen oft aus Ländern, die bereits einen sehr hohen Anteil an erneuerbarer Energie nutzen - wie Island oder Norwegen. In diesen Ländern werben die Unternehmen auch oft damit, dass sie grünen Strom verwenden. Aber dieser grüne Strom wurde bereits über diese Zertifikate "verkauft". Er wird also doppelt gezählt. Der Referent hat diese Fragen untersucht und konnte eine solche Doppelzählung von Ökostrom in Island und Norwegen nachweisen. Diese Untersuchungen führten zu einem vorübergehenden Verbot isländischer Zertifikatexporte, das aber nach kurzer Zeit wieder aufgehoben wurde, obwohl sich nichts geändert hat. * Hintergrundartikel in Englisch https://industrydecarbonization.com/news/the-trouble-with-european-green-electricity-certificates.html * Hintergrundartikel auf Deutsch https://www.golem.de/news/herkunftsnachweise-oekostrom-darf-wieder-zweimal-verkauft-werden-2312-180478.html

Climate Camp wraps up after Ineos confrontation
Following well-organised protests at the site of Scotland's biggest polluter the camp at Kinneil, Grangemouth has been tidied away and legal support is now ongoing for nine people who were detained over the weekend.

The camp was sited just a mile away from Ineos' headquarters to the east of Grangemouth, a
