Before I am tempted to say I am just tired; activist-burn-out would be the technical term. But I feel that there is something more deep-seated at work undermining my ability to bounce back. We have less than a week to go until climate camp, and I had been wondering whether to go at all.

The British campaign against climate chaos moved into a new phase on 4 August when Paul Morozzo became the first climate activist to be imprisoned. Peace News interviewed him after his release.

In a verdict which Greenpeace describe as marking a ‘tipping point’ for the climate change movement, a Crown Court jury today dealt a major blow to UK coal-fired power plans by acquitting six Greenpeace volunteers of criminal damage. The protesters had attempted to shut down the Kingsnorth coal-fired power station in Kent last year.

Former NUM Yorkshire Area Executive member Dave Douglass presents his arguments in favour of the future use of coal-fired power stations, in light of Climate Camp’s opposition to the new plant proposed for Kingsnorth.

Adam Ford reflects on the successes and failures of this year’s Climate Camp, drawing attention to the media’s presentation of the camp, anarchist politics and organisation and what role the state, corporations, workers and nuclear power have in tackling climate change.

Eva Jasiewicz and George Monbiot debate the role of the state in countering climate change.

Reports coming in from the Camp for Climate Action Day of Mass Action August suggest that the day was more successful than many mainstream media sources made out. Schnews provides a round-up of events

Paul Bond reports on the widespread claims of disproportionate and aggressive policing that surrounded the recent Climate Camp in Kent.

Arthur Scargill’s nostalgia would punish the people he cares about. And as for his room-full-of-radiation challenge? I accept – says George Monbiot

Activists from the Kingsnorth Climate Camp reflect on the successful first step in their campaign to prevent a new coal-fired power station being built in Kent.

The media team at the Climate Camp 08 describe how protesters evaded 26 Police forces to enter the site of Kingsnorth power station to act against the prospect of new coal.

This year’s climate camp has been a model of popular activism and non-hierarchical organisation, despite the heavy-handed police repression. SchNEWS reports.

Amid the trivial political squabbles, a stark truth lies hidden: humanity is staring global catastrophe in the face, warns Joss Garman.

In light of events at this week’s Climate Camp in Kingsnorth, MEP Caroline Lucas has joined forces with MPs Norman Baker and Colin Challen to write a letter to the Gold Commander of Kent Police.

The extraordinary measures taken by the police to hound and disrupt activists at the Kingsnorth Climate Camp can, writes Camper Gareth Dale, only be explained by a desire to harass and intimidate the movement against climate change.

Climate action prisoner Paul Morozzo (prison address included) was one of seven activists to publicly defy a bail order banning them from this year’s Climate Camp. The others entered the camp openly through police lines, due to police confusion and poor intelligence.

The climate camp must succeed. In the absence of political backbone, our only hope is an avalanche of public revulsion, writes George Monbiot.

The Anarchist Federation consider climate change through the prism of class struggle and point to the methods by which the ruling class destroys the environment for profit and employs the corporate mass media to fight environmentalism.

E.ON’s claims for coal are deluded. We can’t afford the huge environmental cost of burning this fuel, writes Simon Lewis.

Caroline Lucas, MEP and Green activist, will address the Kingsnorth Climate Camp this weekend to urge the overhaul of the UK’s current economic and environmental policy.
