A Time Comes

This new film by internationally acclaimed director Nick Broomfield celebrates the spirit of direct action. It focuses on 6 Greenpeace volunteers who in 2008 were tried and acquitted for shutting down Kingsnorth power station in the UK, in protest at the government's plans to build a new generation of dirty coal-fired power plants. Their thoughtfully staged defense included testimony from a NASA Director and leading climate scientist, and from environmentalist Zac Goldsmith.

This movie moved me to tears. I cannot tell you how much I hope to one day stand beside other activists whether it's to defend the environment through Greenpeace or to fight against the inhumane treatment of animals through Farm Animals Movement or to defend the rights of gays, lesbians, transgendered through Gay Pride parades. One person can make a difference.

I don't agree with coal but solar, hydro, and wind just cannot do the job. I'd say nuclear is the way to go for the near future but renewable energy should be increased!

[Snyegful]

Outstanding effort, folks. You didn't just sit around complaining like I do.

[DeepSixed300]

@cinesimonj Nuclear is unsustainable in the long-term, of that we are in agreement. But no amount of existing renewable technology would be able to take up the slack.

[cinesimonj]

@DeepSixed300 that is utter rubbish.

The only figures that make that case are those published by non peer-reviewed, nuclear and coal financed.

Nuclear is extremely unsustainable,if you decide to deal with reality and take into account the basics - like waste.

And,of course, the coal & nuclear industry figures are always bolstered by the ongoing massive government subsidies and the current monopolies that will not last when they get some real competition.

I can't even mention just how amazing this is.. i only have one question..

What's the name of the song that starts at 16:04 ? does anyone know? cheers

Two years have passed.

CO2 levels have risen and so have global temps.

We are in ever deeper trouble.

My message to young people around the world:

If you take a look at climate science and get a grasp of what is at stake, you can only come to the conclusion that you have nothing to lose.

Let's get some balls and demand serious action on climate change. We are being slowly murdered. The Kingsnorth Six have shown us how we can exert our right to self-defense.

Thank you KN6 and GP.
