South African energy company Sasol is the world’s leader in coal-to-liquid (CTL) technology. This is the most carbon-intensive way of making petrol and diesel. Sasol’s Secunda plant produces more carbon dioxide emissions than any other single source in the world.

Throughout the developing world, people are paying a terrible price for a climate crisis not of their making.

The worst droughts in over 60 years in East Africa have pushed parts of Kenya, Ethiopia and Somaliland to near the point of collapse, threatening the lives and livelihoods of more than 10 million people.

The next series of UN climate talks kick off in Durban, South Africa, on Tuesday.

All around the world millions of the poorest people are already facing the impacts of climate change, including floods, famine, and severe weather events.

We are facing a planetary emergency and have very little time left to avoid catastrophic climate change.

Cardiff Friends of the Earth is delighted at the strong support some of Cardiff's politicians for tough action on climate change from at a public meeting in the Old Library on Halloween 2009. They rejected the climate trick of carbon off-setting and opted instead for the climate treat of strong measures to reduce carbon emissions at home instead.

Come and grill your politicians on climate change! We have organised a question-time style Halloween event to talk to our politicians about the international climate talks in Copenhagen this December.
