Miffy's pipeline tap

July 2008
Illustration for the UK wing of Rising Tide
who campaign against the causes of climate
change.  This image is unfinished, and it
might not be very clear yet - the 'polluted
skyline' scene is a reflection in the shiny
curved surface of a pipe-line.  It might be
an oil pipe-line or a toxic 'out flow' pipe.

There is a lot of news and action on the
climate front.  
   Dr James Hanson, the chief Climate
scientist at NASA, recently told the US
House of Congress that “We are toast,
if we don’t get on a very different path”
He made several media interviews and
explained that he thought the CEOs of
the major Oil companies should be
charged with crimes against humanity,
as they were knowingly disrupting our
global response to cliamte chaos.  His
website has many downloads including
his slideshows and recent letters and
lectures.

This August (3rd - 11th) the amazing
Camp for Climate Action is happening
in Kent. Also, various marches and
cycle-convoys are also snaking their way
to the main camp.

D-lock Heartbreak

June 2008
Another unfinished illustration (above) for Rising Tide.  The two locks suggest the shape of a heart, with the
lightning behind it making a 'cracked' or broken heart - referring to the sorrow created by climate change.

Cow worries 

June 2008
Cartoon inspired by a description of this idea
in a speech by Michael Parenti, a US political
historian and author.  He described seeing a
poster on a wall in his son's bedroom.  The
wording is approximatly what is shown here.
I did look online for the original poster but
I couldn't find a copy anywhere.  
   Parenti is a great speaker, covering a range
of issues including imperialism, US foreign
pollicy and the history of power and resistance.

Bincineration

May 2008
Graphic inspired by protests against waste
incineration.  The excellent No Burn website
has lots of great information and coverage of
action from around the world.  Greenpeace
and Friends of the Earth are also quite involved.
Across the UK, local councils are being forced
by the rising tax on landfill to change their waste
treatment operations.  Many are trying to increase
recycling, composting, and re-use.  Some are
looking into Mechanical Biological Treatment
(MBT), or other greener systems.  A few are
going for incineration, which is heavily favoured
by the big waste companies.  There are numerous
health risks associated with incineration, including
dioxins and other dangerous particulates found
in the smoke.  Investment in incineration will also
mean less funding for greener alternatives.

No new coal - folding props 

March 2007
Three cloth and bamboo props for the new
campaign against goverment plans to expand
coal power in the UK.  This photo shows the
three props outside parliament, as part of a
demonstration by People & Planet.  Coal is
one of the dirtiest forms of energy-generation
and eight new coal-powered stations would
be a disaster, leading to increased emissions.
According to P&P, they protested:
   "to demand that the Government holds a full
public inquiry into the coal-fired power station
at Kingsnorth.  The Government is currently
considering an application to build a new coal-
fired power station at Kingsnorth in Kent.
   If succesful, there are seven more similar
projects waiting in the wings. Should all eight
be built, they will be responsible for 50 million
tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions per year
- the same as the entire nation of Ghana."

   On the same day, activist groups around the
world took part in actions targeting fossil fuels,
as part of 'Fossil Fools Day'.  Visit their site to
see reports of all the other actions that happened.

   These props are made from painted cloth,
covering a bamboo 'skeleton'.  Cable-ties, gaffer
-tape and water-piping were used to create the
curved ribs.  They fold flat for easy transport
and storage.  The second cooling tower (on the
right) needs some repair!

Banner (above) for Voices in the Wilderness (UK).
Photo on the left shows the banner outside the Royal
Courts of Justice in London, with a group of 'judges'.
   Voices "has been campaigning - both here and in
the US - against US/UK policy
towards Iraq since
the mid-nineties. First, against
the economic sanctions
and US/UK military strikes
on Iraq and, more recently,
against the invasion and
occupation of Iraq."
