Around 2000 people were preemptively arrested at legal […]

NUT: Only a mass movement can fight climate change!
The outcome of the contemptible farce of the Conference of the Parties, or the climate change talks in Copenhagen, will shape politics globally for years to come.

Senator Jim Inhofe is the leading Republican […]

Western capitalism’s industrial revolution was based on its […]
After ‘Climate & Capitalism’ in Manchester: What Now?
The Climate & Capitalism Day School in Manchester on 23rd January was, we think, a success. But the proof of the pudding will, as Engels (among others) pointed out long ago, be in the eating. It is too soon to say if what we did on that Saturday will give rise to some real collective […]
