HUNDREDS STAGE A 'DIE IN' AT HEATHROW'S TERMINAL 2 Paris opens its first refugee centre Good news for our climate More at guestlist.net There was another big winner in the US, cannabis. Following recent developments in France, the first official refugee centre in history opened in Paris. Costing £6million, the shelter has 400 places giving refugees a bed, shower and kitchen. The project is being run by the charity Emmaus Solidarite and has created 120 full time jobs. The US election gave 9 states a say on cannabis laws. California, Nevada, Maine & Massachusetts voted to legalise it for recrea- tional use. The states of Florida, North Dakota, Arkansas & Montana voted to allow cannabis for medical use. Only one state voted against the drug for recreational purposes, Arizona. In the last three years the emissions of the greenhouse gas CO2 has flattened out. It marks a potential turning point in our battle against climate change. The slow-down is said to be, in part, because of China's declining use of coal. There is speculation however, as to whether it's just a blip or a permanent trend. CLIENTEARTH WIN LEGAL BATTLE AGAINST UK GOVERNMENT The demonstration at Europe's busiest airport sees hundreds 'drop dead' on the terminal floor. Client Earth defeat the Government in the courts over the country's toxic air. The Government suffered an embarrassing lose in the High Court this month, after a judge ruled their plan to cut pollution levels weren't enough. It was declared that the Environment Secretary 'fell into error' with the purposed timetable to meet up with lawful standards of air quality 'by adopting too optimistic a model for future emissions'. The verdict was a victory for the green law firm ClientEarth who called the Air Quality Plan, with the projected compliance date of 2020 and 2025 in London, as 'woefully inadequate'. This latest ruling against the Government's plans follows last years Supreme Court ruling, also won by ClientEarth. Immediate action was called as levels of nitrogen dioxide were causing 10,000 early deaths in London. A new plan was revealed by the Government, but ClientEarth believe this fell short of what's needed making it unlawful. The court agreed with the green campaigns declaring the plans to cut emissions as not good enough. Following the ruling a Defra spokeswomen said 'we accept this courts judgement' adding 'we will now carefully consider this ruling, and our next steps, in detail'. Nitrogen dioxide limits were introduced into law in 1991 from the EU, originally meant to be achieved by 2010. The courts ruling may cause some more problems with the Heathrow expansion, enforcing campaigners environment and air quality arguments. More at guestlist.net A 'die-in' flashmob saw hundreds of activists campaigning against airport expansion by lying across Heathrow's Terminal 2's floor. On November 1st the protesters laid on the ground wearing white masks and displaying banners highlighting the impacts aviation has had on climate and pollution levels. Another demonstration took place outside the airport, with cyclists dressed in red, riding to Harmondsworth detention centre and laying on the ground there to highlight the link between climate change and migration. Gatwick also saw a demonstration with protesters enjoying a picnic outside. All three protests coincided with a day of global demonstrations as the International Civil Aviation Organisation held a conference discussing the aviation industries impact on climate change. Reclaim The Power, the group who organised these #StayGrounded demonstrations, are calling for the Government to not expand any airport in the UK and to force the aviation industry to be bounded by climate change regulations. Mary Adams from Reclaim the Power, said: "Expanding airports is completely irresponsible and will bring us out of reach of our own targets to slow climate change."
