		<description><![CDATA[May 6th is the UK's election day and the leaders of the country's largest three political parties - Gordon Brown, Nick Clegg and David Cameron have released video statements about their commitment to taking action on the environment. You can watch all three statements on Green TV at the following:

Gordon Brown - http://www.green.tv/asktheclimatequestion_gordon_brown

Nick Clegg - http://www.green.tv/asktheclimatequestion_nick_clegg

David Cameron - http://www.green.tv/asktheclimatequestion_david_cameron

Green TV would also like to remind UK voters that other parties and candidates are available - and that the opinions expressed in these videos are not necessarily ours!

That's our disclaimer over.....

I’d also like to draw your attention to a film produced by think tank The Green Alliance. Called The Last Parliament, it features the dulcet tones of Sir Trevor Macdonald and highlights what should be the top priorities for the UK’s next parliament.

Watch it at - http://www.green.tv/ga_last_parliament

We'll await the results next Friday.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week our Government has the opportunity to take a  bold leap towards immediate cuts in our emissions. The Liberal Democrats have tabled a motion to garner cross party support for 10:10 Based on one simple ask, 10:10 calls on all of us to commit to a 10% reduction in our carbon emissions in 2010. On Wednesday, the motion being discussed will call on  parliament, the government estate and the public sector to cut their greenhouse gas emissions by 10% in 2010 compared to 2009 levels. Gordon Brown, his cabinet, the  shadow cabinet  and the Liberal Democrat party have already signed up. At the time of writing, the 10:10 campaign has gathered over 35,000 supporters from all sectors. The motion may just have enough support to pass.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Brayne:“The challenge is: how do we mobilize the fear centers of the brain in a way that doesn’t immobilize people.  If you shout at them they shut down, if you don’t tell them what’s happening they do nothing.... We have to make this relevant to people’s personal survival.”

Brayne is convinced the way to do that is for the governments to tell their people the truth: at this point it’s a question of adaptation and mitigation-- not avoiding a global temperature rise of two degree Celsius.  We must change our collective behavior as a species and we must change now.  We must paint a grim picture of the future and convince the public that it will happen.

		<description><![CDATA["Let them do their bit and they'll come down when they're ready.  They'll need something to eat or the toilet in a bit," said one police man.  Police presence is notable on the street,  as is Greenpeace's base camp behind St. Margaret's Church. Not to dampen the London police's optimism but Greenpeace's activists are likely prepared for hunger and toilet eventualities.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most people in the West would be horrified by what is going on in the name of 'national development' in Latin America:   in Peru, the violence last week in Ecuador against the Shuar protestors, massacres of Awa communities in Colombia, and the very worrying situation in Paraguay where the Ayoreo people are living in voluntary isolation due to a cattle ranching land dispute.  There is huge risk in terms of carbon trading offset schemes and avoided deforestation schemes. These may seem like a very important step on the way to tackling climate change, but it is important to remember that unless indigenous land rights are secured, there is very little to indicate that such projects, saturated as they will no doubt become with billions and billions of dollars, will be any different to other mega-projects occurring on indigenous lands.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the Tory Conference continues in Manchester, and David Cameron trashes the EU, let’s take a minute to remember just what the EU has done for the UK.   There is a common myth in food and drug regulation that just because a problem isn’t evident in a lab, there won’t be a problem in (uncontrolled environment) the real world.

		<description><![CDATA[What’s at stake for countries in the global South is nothing short of their future economic development.  As a result, they are holding out for everything they can get-- the most equal intellectual property rights deals, the most aid money.  Their populations will suffer first and hardest. So, no one can appear to give too much too quickly, on either side.  The question is this: have talks stalled, or there’s too much at stake for anybody to give an inch before the final meeting? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[green.tv has featured campaigns by all of our partners and some non-partners soliciting action on climate change-- from signing petitions to convince government leaders that they should not leave the Cop15  without a deal to individual action campaigns.  And yet, we still aren’t doing enough. What’s the point of all these campaigns?  Are there too many that we have now become saturated with climate change that we have been spurred past action to continued inaction?   Has anything really changed?]]></description>
