Global warming ? ..... well weather here in Wales sure is a 'Treat !' 'The UK is experiencing its warmest February day on record, with the Met Office reporting a temperature of 20.3C (68.54F) at Trawsgoed, Ceredigion.
It is the first time a temperature of over 20C has been recorded in winter.'

actionnetwork.org/forms/dover-blockadeJoin us! While politicians rearrange the deckchairs, the British people are heading for extinction due to the Ecological Emergency. This is not politics. It’s physics. The Arctic is melting, the forests are burning, the crops are dying. Our society will collapse, and millions will die unless massive emergency action is taken. There is no greater crime. That is why we have to rebel. On 30th March, Extinction Rebellion is calling for hundreds of brave people, regardless of age or background, to do their duty: for our children, for our communities and for this great nation. Together we will peacefully and non-violently block the motorway out of Dover. As much as 50% of the UK's food is imported through ports like Dover – this food is crucial to feed our nation. While newspapers resound with predictions of empty supermarket shelves as a result of Brexit, this is nothing compared to the misery of climate crisis induced famine and hunger. The Dover road block will highlight the extreme vulnerability of the British people to food insecurity and underline the need for the Government to take emergency action on the climate and ecological crisis. There is no doubt that this will be a controversial action but rest assured, the Dover Blockade will NOT stop medicine and food supplies getting through. This is a symbolic one-day blockage. It will cause major delays, but nothing critical. Its purpose is to tell to the British public and the Government to WAKE UP; very soon we could have food supply collapse and medicine scarcity because of climate breakdown. It takes direct action to get this on the agenda. That is why we are blocking Dover, the symbol of our extreme vulnerability. Does the British public want to send its children into a world of destruction and death as the climate breaks down, food supplies collapse and society slides into chaos? We are giving you a taste of things to come so you can respond now, before it is too late. There will be no food on a dead planet, only dead people. The Dover Blockade will be vital in putting climate and ecological breakdown on the radar in advance of XR’s International Rebellion in April. It aims to put our three demands high on the UK Government’s agenda. Time is running out. We are determined to wake them up and make them act. You can help. To find out more join us at 7pm on 14th March zoom.us/j/337115789 for the Dover blockade online meeting. Please sign up to take part in the action See you there!
