Peaceful environmental activists who were protecting an old-growth forest in Tasmania, Australia, have been violently attacked by timber workers as they were blocking the road for them.
The timber workers attacked the car that the protestors were using to block the road using a sledgehammer and kicking in its windows. They later dragged out a 22-year-old protestor and kicked him repeatedly.
The brutal attack was caught on tape by one of the protestors:

Letterman rants about global warming on his show in early September saying “We’re Dead Meat”. He also talks with Thomas Friedman about his new book titled “Hot, Flat, and Crowded - Why We Need a Green Revolution - And How it Can Renew America”.
Both video clips are worth checking out and can be found below:

This 38-year old-video which shows a lion being reunited with his two childhood owners has already been seen by millions on video sites like YouTube. And now it has come to Green Blog (Yes, we are suckers for cute movies).
The lion named Christian was bought from an exotic animals department in Harrods in 1969 by the two Australians John Rendall and Anthony Bourke for 250 guineas. They took him home and raised him in their flat.
The White House has apparently refused to open an email from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with a proposed rule that would limit greenhouse-gas emissions from new vehicles. And what is more surprising (!?) is that they managed to get it their way in the end.
I am not even surprised anymore. That’s why I will let John Stewart do the explaining:
Yesterday Al Gore launched the We Campaign. It’s a $300 million 3-year effort “to mobilize Americans on climate change.”
The campaign will focus on sending out its message using mainly TV and print ads. People will be urged to go to the We Campaign website and sign the petition for a global treaty on climate change, urge the press to ask questions about climate change and learn more about global warming, the solutions and how they can personally minimize their environmental impact.
The ads will show, by featuring people like Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich, Pat Robertson and Al Sharpton, that both conservatives and liberals can rally around the climate crisis (You can see the very first advertisement that will be aired on TV after the jump).
At the car-fetishes altar of happiness, the NY International Auto Show at the Javits Center, this year experienced a rather special protest from the people behind StreetFilms.
Thousands of people flocked to the NY International Auto Show at the Javits Center on Saturday. In the midst of it all, Lady Liberty ended her 100 year “spectacularly combustible love affair” with the automobile. Lady Liberty said, “Frankly, this relationship has just gotten to be much more work than it’s worth. My health, liberty and freedom have suffered greatly, and now I hope that my new relationships will finally give me security and happiness.” Then Reverend Billy officiated her marriage to “Mr. Transit” and the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir sang in celebration.
I remember when I did Easter eggs like these when I was smaller. You know, back then when you actually cared to celebrate Easter.
But no matter what your personal opinion about Easter is, this method will make your eggs look fabulous. Check out the video on how to make naturally dyed Easter eggs using vegetables and spices.

The video below shows a windmill in Hornslet, near Århus in Denmark, being ripped apart by… wind. Oh the irony. But it does show the power of renewable energy, and in this case wind power.
Yesterday George Bush had his final State of the Union as the president of the United States of America. If you are interested, the Washington Post has fact checked key statements in the speech.
This video is not from that speech. And it is completely not unrelated: (more…)
Possibly the most graphic treatment of global warming that has yet been published, Six Degrees is what readers
of Al Gore's best-selling An Inconvenient Truth or Ross Gelbspan's Boiling Point will turn to next. Written by
the acclaimed author of High Tide, this highly relevant and compelling book uses accessible journalistic prose
to distill what environmental scientists portend about the consequences of human pollution for the next hundred years.
