Enjoy, and do feed us with info, snippets, upcoming events, resources, reflections on what climate event has made you laugh or cry recently. Next newsletter out in early July, keep up the good work!

Oxfordshire ClimateXchange update #48 - April ‘09 - Welcome to the 48th ClimateXchange update! To match the season, this update is bursting with activity and creativity, with the communities section increasing in length. As always, if you've got news snippets, updates about activities or events to advertise, do send them through. The next update will be out at the beginning of May. And if you've ever wondered what Oxford would be like without cars, be sure to be in the City Centre at 6am on May morning... (21-Apr-09)

Oxfordshire ClimateXchange update #47 - April ‘09 - Well this was going to be a very brief update to advertise some upcoming events (communities, Age of Stupid and Literary Festival - see events below) but thanks to people sending in details of their communities events it's got longer! Do keep them coming, and another update will be out in mid April. (07-Apr-09)

Oxfordshire ClimateXchange update #46 - Mar ‘09 -

Spring is in the air, and along with news from active groups in Oxfordshire, there are also stark warnings from scientists at Copenhagen. Sifting through the mass of news, warnings, and projections, those thoughts of ‘isn't it all too late' come creeping in... then I see what actions people and organisations in Oxfordshire are taking, and feel more inspired. In these times I find articles like this http://www.yesmagazine.org/article.asp?ID=2295 really useful

For sure, we need strong action at all levels, from conversations with friends to community, government and international level action. Every act is an opportunity to reinterpret the news - to influence others, and to know that we're not doing it alone. It's also an opportunity to feel more engaged - check the New Scientist article from last year (Happiness Spread like the plague): http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16194-happiness-spreads-like-the-plague.html .

So I'd really encourage you to share what you're doing - individually, your group, or in your organisation, and send contributions for the next update to jo@climatex.org by Mon 6th April. Enjoy the spring - and as always, events are at the end and online at www.climatex.org/events.

Oxfordshire ClimateXchange update #45 - Feb ‘09 - What a month! From snow and ice (provisionally, it was the coldest January since 1997 for England and Wales) to chilling projections about carbon emissions. Meanwhile the nuclear energy debate keeps stirring up the heat, and community groups in Oxfordshire keep plugging away. This bumper issue covers upcoming events, workshops and trainings, plus the usual eclectic bit of climate info. Coming up there are heaps of events - including this Saturday 28th at Oxford Town Hall. As usual, please do send updates from your groups, interesting articles to share, or upcoming events to info@climatex.org . Next issue will be late March, keep up the great work, and bring on spring! All the best, Jo (23-Feb-09)

Oxfordshire ClimateXchange update #44 - Jan ‘09 - Happy New Year to you all. I hope you've had a well earned rest, and have begun the New Year well. There's plenty going on: awards galore, info about flood resilience measures, energy efficiency and heaps of events coming up, including the Green New Deal talk at the end of the month. As always, do keep me in touch with your news and views, and I look forward to working with many of you this year. (12-Jan-09)
