Report backs from the Camp for Climate Action in Ireland and Scotland.

We hear from Molly & Ollie on the fledgling Irish & Scottish Camps for Climate Action.
The Scottish camp supported a local campaign against the expansion of open-cast coal mining in recognised conservation areas. This landscape-destroying form of mining also seems to be linked high rates of respiratory disease amongst local residents.
The Irish camp focussed on the issue of peat-burning in three power stations. Peat is more carbon-intensive than even coal and the strip-mining of peat bogs is destroying a natural carbon sink as well as impacting on biodiversity.

The programme is named after what is now believed to the safe level in parts per million (ppm) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. This finding is based on the work of James Hansen and his team in a paper titled "Target Atmospheric CO2: Where Should Humanity Aim." http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.1126
