There is now wide acceptance of the problem of global warming but still governments and corporations are failing to act. Damien Lawson explores some of the history of civil disobedience and argues that now is the time for us all to put our "bodies on the line".
Damien Lawson is the National Climate Justice Coordinator with Friends for the Earth Australia and a former advisor to Federal Green Senators.
