Sanjay Khanna: From Climate Science to Climate Justice: Climate Change a Symptom of Man's Inhumanity to Man
Given the predicted impacts of climate change, [Mary] Robinson said, "More justice is needed, not more wealth."Copenhagen Climate Change Conference: Anticipating and Avoiding Demoblisation | Earth First! Action Reports
"The values of human rights and dignity are important to move forward," she said. "We need a broader view of human rights that re-frames the issue with the notion of climate justice."

In Africa, for example, climate change is having early impacts around the right to food. "Farmers in Rwanda don't know when to sow now," said Robinson.
The Australian grassroots climate movement, like its counterparts in other parts of the world, risks a period of serious and substantial de-mobilisation of energy, resources, momentum and strategic direction following the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in December 2009.Strike for Climate Justice! December 11th 2009 | Earth First! Action Reports
On December 11th in response to the international climate talks in Copenhagen, Denmark, we ask that everyone concerned with global warming and climate change to join us in an International General Strike demanding Climate Action. Our work stoppage can have a global impact. Together, in a show of solidarity and unity, we can demonstrate to world leaders that the global consensus is for action to stop climate change. They can not ignore our voices when we strike.Protest against climate change denier Nigel Lawson on Friday! | Earth First! Action Reports
For one day we will shut the system down and demand that our governments work together to act in our best interests. On December 11th Strike for Climate Justice, Demand Action!
Here is the text of a leaflet to be handed out at the venue, St John's Chapel, St John's Road. Meet there at 5.30pm (talk starts 6pm).
CLIMATE change is today pretty much universally recognised to be very real and to be very dangerous.
There are still a few organisations that are holding out against this inconvenient truth in different ways. ExxonMobil, the world’s largest oil company, is continuing to fund researchers who cast doubt on global warming, despite public promises to cut support for climate-change sceptics, reported The Daily Telegraph on July 2.
The British police also continue to treat demanding action on climate change as a crime, brutally attacking protesters whenever they get the chance, such as at Kingsnorth power station last summer and the City of London in April this year.
Lining up beside these forces is Nigel Lawson, invited by Chichester Festivities to put across the views expressed in his book An Appeal to Reason: A Cool Look at Global Warming.
