Someone I know rather closely (could even be related…) might be involved in this ;) Although not actually climbing as such. A little message to our government to sign up to the fucking Kyoto Protocol already - courtesy of Greenpeace Australia and some rather amazing pole-climbing. Here’s Greenpeace’s press release on the event - probably written by my liddle brother Tim, who is communications officer in the greenhouse section…

This is important stuff (possibly the most important stuff, given that the implications of global climate change stretch far beyond “tree-hugging greenie” issues, with huge social and poilitical upheaval inevitable as things get more out of control) and it’s great to see Greenpeace taking some peaceful but highly public and inventive action. I doubt that it’ll change Johnny Howard’s tiny mind on the subject though. Lead story at the moment at ABC News - cool!
