On Saturday 5 December 2009, ahead of the crucial UN climate summit in Copenhagen, tens of thousands of people from all walks of life will march through the streets of London to demonstrate their support for a safe climate future for all.

Part of a global series of public actions, The Wave will call on world leaders to take urgent action to secure a fair international deal to stop global warming exceeding the danger threshold of 2 degrees C.

Hope to see you there.

Here are a few pictures from the third forest for the ancient woodland project.

This wood is under threat from a golf course expansion in the north of England.

I will be going again in December to capture some more tree pictures and do portraits and interviews.

Trying to make the wood pictures interesting is a real challenge I’m still unsure of what the final out come will be.

On the 17th October 2009 over 1000 climate change activists converged at one of Britain’s biggest coal-fired power stations: Ratcliffe-on-Soar near Nottingham.

Their aim was to shut down the power station by entering and taking over the site. As the activists tried to breach the fence some classes broke out with the police. The protesters, under the banner the Great Climate Swoop, include supporters of three pressure groups - the Camp for Climate Action, Plane Stupid and Climate Rush. Ratcliffe-on-Soar was chosen as the activists’ target in an online vote following the Climate Camp held in London in August.

They want all coal-fire power stations to be decommissioned and environmentally friendly energy options used.
