The G20 Alternative Summit was a popular assembly or teach-in in a densely populated, working class area of London. It is being hosted at the national level by Britains University and College Lecturers Union (UCU). In short, this was an event for everyone who thinks that the bankers and politicians in their pay have been making a mess of things and need to be sacked and replaced.

At the last minute UEL pulled their support of the event, which was supposed to be held accross 2 lecture halls, forcing the event to be staged outside.
It's a sad day when our educational system, our Universities, pull away from opportunities to THINK and find solutions. Organiser and lecturer Chris Knight is currently suspended for comments made to the press in the run up to the G20 Meltdown... Serious Kudos to him for keeping on track and making sure this event happened!!!!

Sorry about the video quality

Peace!!! x

Whether the climate is heating or cooling one thing is constant. Humans breathe Oxygen and burning things also consumes Oxygen. I say we need massive reforestization. Replant the rainforests. Terraform the deserts.

The car society is also reinforced by zoning laws keeping business and residences too far apart. Workers should be able to afford housing within walking distance of work.

Excellent video. Thanks.

wrong. investigate it.

would you run your car in your home?

That is what we are doing as a species.

The biosphere is our home.

we rely on the biosphere for life.

its is a simple as that.

Read 1st and 2nd peter to find the earliest predictions of climate change. u ppl r being suckered if you believe this silly shit.

And yet there are paid shills out there willing to whore out to enable our current ways. But, as we all know, there were physicians and scientists into the 80's willing to swear that the science wasn't there to prove that smoking causes cancer....and the world is flat to some too.

I agree with you tullyvey, the controlled opposition which itself is more bullshit. Global warming has become "climate change" so you can say it without having to say the word warming. Because many think that we are cooling, over-all.

A look at the controlled alternative...
