Hey guys! Just a short one today, busy busy at the moment but I'll try and do another full post within the week.
As the earth gets warmer, the sea levels increase effecting everyone on the planet. Simple. That's why I find it quite depressing to see the subject bypassed in parliament and left to mere snippets in the press. The recent events in the arctic where Greenpeace protesters have attempted to stop the building of Russian rigs has been met with overwhelming hostility from Russian special services (not dissimilar to the tactics used by the KGB) and the 30 protesters have been illegally arrested in international waters and shipped back to Russia where they are being held and their fate remains uncertain.
Now while this is quite a big story which you would think should demand a respectable amount of news coverage, it has been left rather untouched and has only had fleeting interest in the liberal press (notably the Guardian). Greenpeace have obviously been campaigning for the release of the 30 protesters and their campaign on twitter, #freethearctic30 has had some success but they are fighting alone. I urge you all to campaign, sign petitions and donate if you can to help Greenpeace's cause. It seems criminal that an issue so big and so vitally important, one that we should all be fighting has been left to one independent organisation.
