Down with Shell
Oil, coal, gas, and atomic energy is destroying the planets livability, and therefore the last forty-five years of eclogical green organic revolution has brought into being the hi and low tech tools to put into place wind, tidal, and solar power which transforms to electricity and is more power than can be used by society. No more blackouts. This non-pollution solution is given freely in natures kinder laws, and provides work for all and forever more. Viva Socialist Liberation. End pollution wars, not endless wars for more pollution.
most alternative technologies require rare metals, the mining of which is pollutive and the nature of which means it is unsustainable to produce.
also, the nature of civilization is such that even if we were to recycle EVERYTHING and we produced no pollutions, civilization would continue to grow and expand and eventually out pace the ability of the planets resources to sustain it; thus leading to mass starvation and food riots, etc.
so no real solution there; just putting off the problem till tomorrow :-S
While most of the attention at Rossport Solidarty Camp these days is directed towards the Oral Hearing in Belmullet those that remain still manage to keep Shell security on their toes.

"Oil, coal, gas, and atomic energy is destroying the planets livability."
No it isn't
Technology is stopping you from having the natural life of a human: 30 years or so.
"A life Nasty and Brutal and Short.".
Even if we eventually are being fried by heat we will reverse our own stupidity.
Survival of the cleverest.
Simplifications.
A glance at those who dominate human history belies your contention.
Its survival of the most devious and brutal with the collusion of a claque of sorceror's apprentices whose interests are vested in collaboration in their micro-agendas.
Even frying in nuclear heat wont reverse that idiocy.

pollution from oil, gas and coal is congesting the air we breathe and creating a blanket around the planet that is causing the worlds heating to rise beyond human ability to survive it.
already it is responsible for overgrown natural disasters such as hurricane Katrina (warmer water leads to more violent hurricanes), the floods in pakistan (warmer weather sucked up more water leading to floods) - same deal with the mud slides in china, and the forest and bog fires in russia are directly related to the record hot summer theyve had this year.
so yes, the pollutants are destroying aour ability to live and theyre doing it now. still people push blindly on.
and this is why: civilization was born at a time when environmental conditions were such that we could no longer continue our hunter/gatherer/herder lifestyle. we had to club together and form groups capable of providing the humanpower to sustain the group with agriculture. the foundation of civlization is baced on the subconcious desires to dominate the land and grow exponentially in order to gain strength.
this dominance then manifested in how we treated each other with the formation of laws and hierarchical systems to maintain order within the now larger group.
this growth has manifested with ever larger populations filling the space left available to them by the issue of surplus food that we have in our society.
civilization is founded on these principles and it will never stop unless it if forced to.
it is psychopathic:
it is irresponsible because in an attempt to satisfy its goal, everybody else is put at risk.
it tries to manipulate everything, including public opinion.
it is grandiose, always insisting that "we're number one, we're the best."
it refuses to accept responsibility for its own actions and is unable to feel remorse.
what do you do with psychopaths - do you appeal to their conscience? no: they dont have one
more drastic action is neccasary if you are to stop their destructive path.
also: 30 years is the time it takes us to live to our prime, so that when we die, we leave the greatest amount of nutrients, etc. for the other species within our ecosystem.
in nature, beings of the same species rarely, if ever, fight or seek competition with each other. they compete against other species in their ecosystem, but only in a desire to seek balance.
when this natural order of things is thrown awry, the ecosystem is destroyed and survival of the species can no longer can be guaranteed. evolution of that species ends because it was unable to live in balance with its ecosystem, and nature gives way to other species, better adapted to survive on this planet without seeking to commit genocidal suicide.
