CO2 dangerously acidifying world's oceans - Features - Al Jazeera English

Power plants and other forms of energy supply are responsible for 26 percent of the world's carbon emissions [EPA]

As the effects of global climate change continue to be felt throughout the world's ecosystems, scientists say greenhouse gases are causing rapid changes that may irreversibly alter the composition of the Earth's oceans.

It is estimated oceans absorb up to 30 percent of global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions, helping to offset the overall warming of the planet. But the amount of CO₂ being pumped into the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution has skyrocketed, saturating oceans and boosting acidification.

Burgeoning ocean acidification raises the spectre of extinctions of coral, algae and shellfish - key cogs in the global food chain - with far reaching consequences for the planet's inhabitants.

Evictions and Destruction on the ZAD Airport Protest Site - UK Indymedia

 The ZAD airport protest site in France is still being evicted, a process that started on the 16th October. The zone is gradually being militarised but there are HUGE numbers of protesters and seemingly more every day. We're still fighting and it is not over!
The ZAD is an airport protest site in the west of France about 15 miles north of Nantes. The airport project was first proposed over forty years ago and has faced constant local resistance ever since. The project is in the hands of the multinational company Vinci, who also provide us with such « services » as prisons, motorways and nuclear power stations. It is the particular pet project of Jean Marc Ayrault, the former mayor of Nantes and current Prime Minister of France. In 2009 the area hosted a climate camp, since when the empty houses, fields and forests have been gradually filling up with people disgusted enough by the idea of this project to stay and resist

Squatters 'shocked' at council plans to discuss library sale before court hearing (From Times Series)

Mrs Canning said: “I don’t think it will be as easy as the council thinks to re-close the library. Closing libraries in a recession is like closing hospitals in the middle of a plague.
“When the library closed, Friern Barnet lost something, but it is like the heart has been put back into the community since it reopened.
“It hasn’t listened so far, and probably won’t listen now, but we’re still going to be shouting very loudly.”

If you phone, make sure it is at a reasonable hour and you are polite. This is a crucial time for the library and we need your help to lobby councillors leading up to the meeting and the court case.
