"Climate change is now a reality. Leading scientists across the world agree that in a 'business as
usual scenario' we have no longer than 10 years to prevent 2-3 degrees of additional global warming
that will lead to irreversible climatic changes with dramatic consequences for our planet. However,
in a world driven by profit and committed to unlimited economic growth, humanity seems very
unwilling to change the course of the fossil fuel economy. In the summer of 2006, the 5th hottest
year ever recorded in recent history, 600 people convinced that there is no time to waste set up a
Camp for Climate Action in the shadow of one of the biggest C02 emitters in Europe: Drax coal-fired
power station in Yorkshire / UK. With over one hundred workshops on a wide range of topics, the 10
day camp was a space of collective learning, sustainable living and taking direct action on the root
causes of climate change. The gathering that showed practical low energy solutions in action,
culminated in a day of protest and mass direct action in an attempt to shut down Drax."
“experts never change the world, social movements do...”
Note: we are attempting to link up with one of the film makers, who lives in Freiberg, so that he can
join us for a Q&A session.... however he’s not answering his phone....
