The final Climate Chaos Café – and The Camp for Climate Action Assembly double bill will be taking place On Wednesday the 9^th July at the Common Place in Leeds

We will start with a classic Climate Chaos Café with a speaker, starting at 6.45pm followed by a fantastic Vegan meal at 7.15pm and The Camp for Climate Action Yorkshire Neighbourhood Assembly at 8pm. All are welcome.

The topic of the night Climate Chaos Café will be – New Coal in the UK – with Paul Morozzo

Six new coal fired power stations are planned in the UK, with Kingsnorth in Kent leading the way. We have not built a coal fired power station in the UK for 30 years. So why, when everyone is talking about climate change are we starting now? Collectively these six power stations would emit around 50 million tons of CO2 a year. So why are they being hailed as ‘clean’ coal? And importantly, how do we stop this happening?

Then the final Camp for Climate Action Yorkshire Neighbourhood Assembly

Fittingly, the Camp for Climate Action will this year be held at Kingsnorth Coal fired power station , Kent, 3rd to 11th August. The Camp for Climate Action is all about coming together to build a mass movement to stop climate change and those profiting from its causes. There will be 100 educational workshops, a demonstration eco village, and opportunity for direct action against the coal industry. People from across Yorkshire have been planning to travel down to the event together, and to camp in a ‘Yorkshire Neighbourhood’ on the site. This is an opportunity to meet others going, to ask questions, make plans and help to put in place the practical arrangements. This will be more of a social than a meeting we hope!  All are welcome whether they are thinking of coming of just curious.

Spread the word – and we hope to see you there.
