June in Montana: Cold weather at camp for global warming activists


Climate Ground Zero
After 3 days at camp here in Montana we have a heavy rain day. Some folks were unprepared for the wet and cold conditions here in the Big Belt Mountains of Montana and this weather has tested their patience and endurance, but overall people are dealing and in great spirits.
From a related press release here:
York, Montana ~ Global Warming activists from around the globe are converging at Sweats Gulch in the Helena National Forest 20 miles East of Helena, Montana for a week of training and preparation to confront decision makers and the dirty energy industries over their failure to address the global climate crisis.
...
Staff and volunteers from Greenpeace, Rainforest Action Network, Earth First!, Rising Tide, and Globalwarmingsolution.org will be joining other grassroots activists for this weeklong seminar on nonviolent direct action tactics such as blockades, climbing, Web 2.0 and media relations.
