For those who don't know there will be a Fossil Fools Day on April 1st
all around the world.

Details, resources and Facebook Event (that you can forward to people on
Facebook) follow. Please also see Cassies invite to join the Brisbane
(Australia) Fossil Fools organising team (or just join to keep in touch
with what is going on).
----
Roll up, roll up! The climate circus is in town. Climate change
threatens our very survival, but the fools at the head of the fossil
fuel empire continue to plunder the earth, with governments the willing
court jesters at their side.

They would have us believe that we can escape climate change with
techno-fixes, market mechanisms and offset schemes -- all technocratic
acrobatics that distract us from the truth: the only real solution to
climate change is to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

For over a century the fossil fuel industry has been fooling with our
lives. From extraction to combustion they have poisoned our air,
polluted our water and ruined our climate. On April 1st, 2008, we're
going to turn the tables and show them who the real fools are.

Find a local fossil fool -- the coal-mining clown, the offset
contortionist, the aviator tripping on the high wire, the supermarket
food mile freak show, the oily strong man, or any other fool that
deserves your attention -- and join with thousands around the world in
taking one step closer to dismantling the fossil fuel industry.

On Fossil Fools Day, bring the spirit of carnival and mischief to the
fight for climate justice.

Hi there,

Thought that you may be interested in joining this group....
basically we are planning activities that highlight the coal industry
pushing their agenda even though Climate Change is seen as a serious issue.

So far we have decided to dress up as clowns, jesters and funny
characters and visit various coal industries to indicate how foolish
they are....

If you don't wish to join the elist that is cool but it would be great
if we could have your support for this fun and creative but serious event.
