Peru: The Battle for Pachamama
More protests over mining, water
by WW4 More than 500 residents in the campesino community of Tumpa in Yungay province of Peru’s central Andean region of Áncash, began blocking roads leading to the local operations of the Mina California company Aug. 6, declaring an open-ended paro (civil strike) to demand a halt to the mine’s pollution of local waters.
The mine is located near Nevado Huascarán, Peru’s highest mountain, and the national park of the same name, which forms the headwaters of several of Peru’s major rivers. (Servindi, Aug. 6) Continue reading “Peru: The Battle for Pachamama”
NO new Coal, Stop Otter Creek mine, Save the Planet
Montanans Prepare to Harness Direct Action in Coal Fight
note. posts on NH3 the CO2-Free fuel now have their own blog HERE.. http://co2freefuelexistsnow.wordpress.com/
On Sunday, people from across Montana, and the larger area affected by coal export projects, will start converging in the state capitol of Helena. They’re coming for what will likely be the largest act of nonviolent direct action related to energy policy the Northern Rockies region has ever seen.
We’re calling it the Coal Export Action. By tapping into the type of nonviolent protests in other parts of the country this summer — such as the fights against mountaintop removal and fracking — our coalition of groups plans to challenge an energy project that threatens the health of communities across the Northwest: coal mine-for-export projects.

US abandons minimum Climate Chaos goals
For the last 10 years all efforts at a world agreement on Climate Change have been blocked
by the insane greed of the USA in putting the profits of its criminal Corporations before the urgent need to save the habitat of all life on Earth.
One of the few results of dozens of failed conferences is the commitment to in future try and limit to +2.0C average temperature increase, though many scientists estimate that even that will cause Runaway Climate Chaos.
Now the head of the US delegation, Todd Stern, has abandoned even that basic principle because..”insisting on a structure that would guarantee such a +2.0C degree goal will only lead to deadlock”. This is nonsense, the deadlock already exists and is caused by him obeying his money masters.
Stern in the past has denied US blocking of Climate talks, despite all the evidence of systematic sabotage, falsifying and blocking scientific reports, trashing and smearing scientists, financing of multiple far right Climate-Denier think tanks and blogs, as well as the obvious votes against any progressive measures. In the medium term this policy of the US climate criminals will be seen as responsible for many millions of deaths and a probably irreversible global catastrophe.
Todd Stern does distance himself from the deniers who he says are living in ”wonderland”, while himself toeing the line of Obama and the corporations. He admits that all legislation in the US has been blocked, and then details a long list of petty measures to gain credibility.
see his speech HERE Todd Stern’s remarks at Dartmouth College
Reaction of other Climate Politicians was one of ‘shock and awe’.
Spokesmen for the EU and the Alliance of Small Island States (Aosis) said the US should stick to promises made.
“Suddenly abandoning our agreement to keep global warming below 2C is to give up the fight against climate change before it even begins,” said Tony de Brum, Minister in Assistance for the Marshall Islands.
“‘Flexibility’ on our 2C limit would set the world on a path to irreversible, runaway climate change.
“For many low-lying island states, including my own, that is not a solution – it is a death sentence,” he told BBC News.
