FOSSIL FOOLS DAY
Rising Tide and the Network for Climate Action are calling for a day of action against the fossil fuel industry on
April 1st, 2008
FOSSIL FOOLS DAY
… Pull a prank that packs a punch.
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 take direct action to end the fossil
fuel empire.
On Fossil Fools Day, bring the spirit of carnival and mischief to the
fight for climate justice.
3 Months, 3 Days of Action:
- April 1st: Fossil Fuels
- May 1st: False Capitalist Solutions
- June: Food and Climate Change
