It's been a busy year for author/activist/slam poet Danny Chivers. He was one of six people charged with planning to invade Ratcliffe-on-Soar coal power station, but his case collapsed at the last minute due to revelations about undercover police officer Mark Kennedy. Since then, he's been arrested at the Fortnum & Mason anti-cuts demo, been thrown out of BP's AGM for an anti-tar sands protest, and has also launched his new book: "The No-Nonsense Guide to Climate Change". Published by New Internationalist, it's a handy pocket guide to the whole climate issue, using friendly, jargon-free language (along with a smattering of humour, poetry and unusual analogies) to explain the latest science, politics, solutions, technologies, barriers, activism, and where we go from here.

Danny will be launching his book at News From Nowhere Radical & Community Bookshop, at 7pm on Saturday 23rd April. Come and hear the inside story of the whole bizarre Ratcliffe affair, mixed up with slam poetry, some unlikely good news on climate change, and discussion about what our next steps should be in the struggle for climate justice.

Free entry, all welcome.
