London Climate Camp 2009 at Blackheath London;

Thousands of people have converged on London for the annual Climate Camp protest. The organisers managed to keep the specific site a secret until Wednesday afternoon when the various bands of supporters were led to Blackheath, a prosperous suburb in South East London.
Recently climate camps have taken place most famously at London’s Heathrow airport and also at the, Drax power station in Yorkshire and the Kingsnorth power station in Kent.
A spokesman for the Climate Camp is quoted as saying
"One of the main aims of the Climate Camp is to take direct action against the route causes of climate change. The City of London represents the epicentre of a failed economic system whose obsession with endless growth makes it impossible for us to move forward and deal with climate change. The targets have been chosen because of their enormous impact on climate change because of their promotion of failed market logic like carbon trading”
Now the site is secured and the protestors are settled in for a series of workshops and meetings with the occasional incursion into the outside world to protest.
The police are showing a low profile perhaps after recent criticism in the media of their policing of the G20 protests in London in April and the previous climate camps.
