Det finst heldigvis nokre folk att som er i stand til å skjera gjennom
vrøvlet om at jorda trass i synleg ekstreme klimafenomen og oppvarming, er
i ferd med å lækje såra heilt av seg sjølv. Ein norsk tankar full av
US-olje blei borda i Le Havre søndag. Eg høyrde i radioen at tankaren blei
borda også for å protestere mot den norske regjeringa sin unnfallande
klimapolitikk...

Le Havre, France, 11.30am CST - As US President George Bush prepares to
visit Europe this week to negotiate the future of the Kyoto Protocol,
Greenpeace today stopped a tanker delivering US owned oil to Le Havre,
France.
While heading for the French port, eight activists from the Greenpeace
ship MV Greenpeace, boarded the Norwegian owned tanker, Anna Knutsen,
and attached a banner which read "BUSH + ESSO + CHEVRON + CONOCO = CLIMATE
KILLERS".
President George Bush together with his oil company backers have taken on
the mantle of spoilers in the climate change negotiations," said
Greenpeace campaigner Paul Horsman from on board the MV Greenpeace.
"Greenpeace is stopping this US oil to send a message that Esso, Chevron
and Conoco cannot just continue business as usual when that business is
wrecking the climate."
When President Bush rejected the Kyoto protocol, he provoked international
outrage," said Horsman. "Greenpeace can only stop one tanker, but other
people can send a clear message to Bush's oil industry supporters that
'business as usual' is unacceptable.
The publication of the most recent climate science reports earlier this
year further confirmed the global scientific consensus that human
activities were affecting the climate and the consequences were going to
be worse and earlier than previously thought. Scientists from the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change upgraded their previous global
warming predictions to six degrees C temperature rise over the next
century
"Thousands have already died and millions made homeless from extreme
weather events caused by climate change," said Horsman. "They have been
killed and displaced as a direct result of the ongoing and increasing use
of fossil fuels used to drive the profligate industrial and energy
consumption of the industrialised countries - led by the USA. If Esso and
the rest of the oil companies don't change, the climate will and many will
die as a consequence."
"We will know this week just how destructive George W Bush's commitment to
oil over the climate will be when he sits down in Gothenburg, Sweden, with
the European heads of government to negotiate the future of the climate
talks," said Horsman. "We urge the EU to proceed to ratify the Kyoto
Protocol, with or without the US"
This action is part of Greenpeace's global campaign to pressure corporate
America and George W Bush to work with the rest of the world to save the
climate.
