We take a look at the scourge of large-scale biofuels as well as previewing this year's Camp for Climate Action in the UK.
Produced by Phil England for Climate Radio. www.climateradio.co.uk phil@switch-off.co.uk If you broadcast the programme, itd be great if you could drop me a line to let me know. If you broadcast the series - even better! The current series will be weekly from July through to the end of December.
Biofuels have been condemned as a âcrime against humanityâ by the outgoing UN Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Jean Zeigler. We find out why agrofuels have been responsible for food riots and increasing hunger around the globe as well as being a false solution to the problem of climate change.
Plus - Ahead of this yearâs Camp for Climate Action, we speak to Connor OâBrien about their plans for sustainable living, education, and shutting down the coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth in Kent.

IMPORTANT NOTE - "The 300-350 Show" is the new name for "The Two Degrees Show". The new name comes from what is now believed to the safe level 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."
