RECENT HAPPENINGS:
———————————————-
1) TOP WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION DITCHES SHELL — 26.1.08
Shell’s two year tenure as spon­sor of the Nat­ur­al His­to­ry Muse­um’s Wildlife Pho­tog­ra­ph­er of the Year exhi­bi­tion has come to an end. A deter­mined, cre­ative two year nation­al cam­paign, coor­di­nat­ed in part by Ris­ing Tide and its Art Not Oil cam­paign, helped force the Nation­al His­to­ry Muse­um and the BBC to ditch their unlike­ly spon­sor. Lon­don Ris­ing Tide’s Chris Hyde said: “This vic­to­ry has shown what cli­mat­i­cal­ly con­scious grass­roots art can achieve…we will be keep­ing up the pres­sure with our Art Not Oil cam­paign.”
And please send your art in to the 2008 Art Not Oil online gallery…

2) NEW WAVE OF CLIMATE ACTION — NATIONWIDE, JANUARY ’08
Here’s some rea­sons to be cheer­ful in the dark win­ter months… far from hid­ing away from the cold (or hid­ing heads in the sand for that mat­ter), hotbeds of cli­mate action are spring­ing up around the coun­try. On the Ris­ing Tide front, six new groups have formed in the last six months, with more peo­ple join­ing in all the time.

3) ACTIVISTS BLOCKADE PRIVATE JETS — EDINBURGH, 21.01.08
Over twen­ty envi­ron­men­tal pro­test­ers breached secu­ri­ty at Edin­burgh Air­port and block­ad­ed the entrance to the pri­vate jet com­pa­ny, Greer Avi­a­tion. The activists, from direct action group Plane Stu­pid Scot­land, pledged that today’s actions come as part of a nation­wide cam­paign to reverse the cur­rent plans for a tripling of air trav­el in Scot­land which they say flies in the face of the gov­ern­men­t’s own cli­mate tar­gets.

4) PENGUINS RECLAIM THE ICE (SH)RINK — LONDON, 12.01.2008

The pro­test­ers, from the cli­mate action group Plane Stu­pid, dressed as pen­guins to high­light the irony of an air­line cre­at­ing an ice rink in cen­tral Lon­don.

6) LONDON RISING TIDE DIE-IN AT THE TATE — 4.1.08
Activists from Lon­don Ris­ing Tide staged a ‘die-in’ in the BP spon­sored Tate Britain. Bob Jones from LRT said “we’re here to demand that the Tate cut it’s ties with BP, an art gallery is no place for an envi­ron­men­tal haz­ard such as an oil com­pa­ny. BP are here to Green­wash their image and dis­tract from the eco­log­i­cal dev­as­ta­tion they’re caus­ing around the world”. The pro­test­ers hand­ed out lots of leaflets and urged patrons to demand the end of oil com­pa­nies’ spon­sor­ship of art gal­leries.

In Lon­don, a colour­ful ban­ner protest was held out­side the office of Green­er­gy Inter­na­tion­al, the UK’s largest bio­fu­el sup­pli­er. This was part of a Nation­al Week of Action on Agro­fu­els in which dif­fer­ent groups and organ­i­sa­tions across the UK are organ­is­ing protests against the defor­esta­tion, high food prices, human rights abus­es and faster glob­al warm­ing caused by bio­fu­els from large-scale mono­cul­tures. There was a sec­ond protest at Edin­burgh’s Green­er­gy office.
