Saving Warrup Forest

Submitted by Gerry Georgatos on Fri, 15/07/2011 - 10:08am

The Western Australian Forest Alliance will work with Bridgetown-Greenbushes Friends of the Forest to oppose prospective logging of Warrup forest, which is located in the Shire of Bridgetown-Greenbushes, in the south west of Western Australia. On Sunday morning, July 10, WAFA, hosted by the BGFF, invited me to a fact finding mission in the Warrup.

The day ended as it began, with Julian emerging from the High Court, as he had entered, surrounded by a hungry press pack. Nothing draws a pack like a condemned man doing the walk to the gallows. But on the way out Julian emerged to the soundtrack of Dylan's
"I Shall be Released" led by Kiwi blues guitarist John McClean and those of us who had gathered through the day in solidarity in full voice. Here's "The Band's" version

Assange faces court in London 12th/13th of July

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Tue, 12/07/2011 - 5:18pm

Julian Assange is appealing is extradition to Sweden to face questioning in the politically motivated rape investigation. He was in court on the 12-13th of July. A judgement is due three weeks from this date. Assange has been the victim of character assassination and there have been many calls for him to be killed by high profile U.S. figures. There is plenty of evidence Assange's extradition is part of an attempt to ultimately have him extradited to the US where he is likely to feel the full wrath of the Empire, an Empire comprehensively exposed by WikiLeaks revelations. In the UK a small group of activists including Australian peace activist Ciaron O'Reilly have gathered in solidarity at the court and are having a public meeting. Disapointingly it appears no-one has organised a solidarity event in Australia to coincide with the court. Like other war resisters like Bradley Manning, Julian deserves solidarity as both a peace activist and champion of the free press.
Solidarity actions in the UK:UK Indymedia feature on extradition -- Turkish TV clip of solidarity action at court -- Ciaron's O'Reilly's account of the first day in court -- Supporters speak outside the court -- Ciaron O'Reilly's report on day 2 in court

Warming Arctic air temperatures causing more rain, less snow, faster ice melt

Submitted by takver on Sat, 09/07/2011 - 1:17pm

Arctic air temperatures are warming faster than anywhere else on Earth. Although the level of precipitation is remaining unchanged, there is reduced snowfall in summer which is being replaced by increasing rain. The loss of summer snow and increase in rain is resulting in a positive feedback mechanism increasing warming and melting of the Arctic ice.
