When two of our activists were detained after exposing major corruption in the Japanese whaling industry - we knew the Japanese authorities breached internationally guaranteed human rights. Now, as these two activists prepare to take the stand and have their day, or more in court, the violation of their human rights has been confirmed by a UN working group.

Since December there has been a glut of stories challenging the science of climate change as represented by the IPCC. Should we be concerned? Only about climate change.

This is what we like to see: a true leader in toxics free electronics showing the bigger ones like Dell and Samsung how it's done.

January 31st - the first milestone of the Copenhagen Accord - came and went, and with it no sign of the kind of targets for cutting global warming pollution that could steer the world off the path towards catastrophic climate change.

The French nuclear industry seems to think it's fair to ship nuclear waste to Russia and then forget about it. They think that keeping the waste away from the French public will protect their glossy image. Not as long as Greenpeace around. We’ve taken action to tell them that "Russia is not your dumping ground."

Juan, Nora, Christian and Joris spent 20 days in jail without a trial before being released. They still need your help - and so does the climate.

Civil disobedience to stop climate change had its day in court in the US yesterday when activists pled guilty to climbing Mount Rushmore with their message demanding Obama take leadership on climate change. Four other climate activists who have spent three weeks in jail in Copenhagen for gate crashing a Head of State dinner still await their first hearing.

Our four activists who grabbed global media attention last week after being waved through the security cordon and allowed to gatecrash the Heads of State dinner at the Copenhagen climate summit will be spending Christmas and New Year in jail without trial, the Danish High Court has ruled.

These four activists face the prospect of three weeks in jail for taking action against climate change. They interrupted arrivals at the Heads of State dinner in Copenhagen with their message "Politicians Talk, Leaders Act." The Heads of State left Copenhagen without taking action against climate change, which is already killing 300,000 people a year. The activists went to jail.

Four of our activists face the prospect of Christmas in jail this year over charges relating to our crashing of the Head of State dinner at the Copenhagen climate summit, while the leaders who did practically nothing about the greatest threat to our planet got away scott free.

Two years has passed since world leaders promised all of us a deal to stop climate change. After two weeks of UN negotiations, politicians breezed in, had dinner with the Queen, a three hour lunch, took some photos and then delivered what could only be described as the 24 hour Head of State tourist brochure of Copenhagen instead of a climate treaty. Don’t believe the hype, there is nothing fair, ambitious or legally binding about this deal. The job of world leaders is not done. Today they shamefully failed to save us all from the effects of catastrophic climate change.

Like tens of thousands of activists around the globe who have been working so long and so hard for a fair, ambitious and legally binding treaty here at Copenhagen, I was hopeful until the very end that our leaders would act, and produce a climate treaty needed to avoid climate catastrophe. But the reality has been different.

We thought it unfair that among the Heads of State invited to the Queen's dinner in Copenhagen, that the representative from the Earths's Oceans, Forests, and Ice Regions was inexplicably left off the invitation list. So we sent one to crash the party.

President Obama received the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway's capital today. In his own words, this is a "call to action" rather than a recognition of his own accomplishments. So we're hoping he'll act on his promises to confront the global challenges of the 21st century. We're hoping he will confront the greatest one in history - climate change. Our activists are greeting him in Oslo and urging him to show strong leadership when he attends the UN Climate Summit in Copenhagen next week.

The countdown to Copenhagen is over and the time for excuses has run out. Next week, more than 100 heads of state will answer your call to come to Copenhagen and take personal responsibility for the future of climate change.
