*Save the Triumph Bonneville! The inside story of the Meriden Workers Co-op
by John Rosamond. *
*Foreword by The Right Honourable Tony Benn.*
There is no more famous motorcycle than the Triumph Bonneville, the Bonnie,
“the best motorcycle in the world,” and the Meriden factory producing this
icon was a personal Mecca to fans of the marque. Film stars such as Steve
McQueen visited Meriden for their Triumphs. But on the brink of what should
have been its biggest ever sales season, the BSA parent company dramatically
collapsed. The Conservative government reacted, and Norton-Villiers-Triumph
was created.

The new owners decided to close down Meriden … so the workers locked them
out.

 There followed protracted political negotiations, affected all the while by
national government changes, ministers attitudes, national and international
economic conditions and, throughout all this, the world’s continuing desire
for the Triumph.

As much a study of changing sociopolitical attitudes as of an economically
traumatic time for both Triumph and the country, socialist John Rosamond’s
unique position within the workers co-operative makes this work a
fascinating account of a story never before told from the inside. The
reversal of his role from worker to chairman brought with it new
responsibilities, bringing home to him the passion that employees, customers
and dealers had for Triumph, and how that could keep Meriden from closing
and the Bonneville in production. During all these desperate struggles, the
Triumph Bonneville became the best-selling motorcycle of its class, winning
the coveted Motor Cycle News Motorcycle of The Year award at the end of the
seventies. Yet within just a few years of this, Meriden and the Bonnie were
finally gone.

All the rescue attempts, the lifesaving international orders, and the
negotiations for a reprieve with the new Thatcher government are covered
here in unique detail, as is the introduction of new models that Meriden
hoped would attract a ‘white knight’. Lavishly illustrated with
never-before-seen photographs from the personal collections of the factory’s
workers, this inside-story of Triumph’s last years at Meriden is the
definitive history of the most famous of the Tony Benn worker’s
co-operatives.

*6 Degrees Warmer: Mass Extinction?*

If the world warms by six degrees, oceans will turn into marine wastelands
and natural disasters become common events.

 *5 Degrees Warmer: Civilization Collapses*

If the world warms by five degrees the planet reaches a nightmare vision of
life on Earth as traditional social systems break down.

*4 Degrees Warmer: Great Cities Wash Away*

If the world warms by four degrees oceans will rise and glaciers will
disappear, cutting off fresh water to billions.

*3 Degrees Warmer: Heat Wave Fatalities*

If the world warms by three degrees the Mediterranean and parts of Europe
will wither in the summer’s heat.

*2 Degress Warmer: Ocean Life in Danger*

If the world warms by two degrees, some of the changes to the biosphere are
no longer gradual

*Could Just One Degree Change the World?*
*
Witness how drastically our world could change if the earth warms by just
one degree. *

.

In 2004, Lynas’ *High Tide: The Truth About Our Climate
Crisis<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=High_Tide:_The_Truth_About_Our_Climate_Crisis&action=edit&redlink=1>
* was published by Macmillan
Publishers<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macmillan_Publishers>on its
Picador <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picador_%28imprint%29>
imprint<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imprint>

contributed to a book entitled *Fragile Earth: Views of a Changing
World<http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fragile_Earth:_Views_of_a_Changing_World&action=edit&redlink=1>
* published by Collins
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collins>,[2]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Lynas#cite_note-1>which
presents before-and-after images of some of the natural changes which
have happened to the world in recent years, including the Indian Ocean
tsunami <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_Ocean_tsunami> and Hurricane
Katrina <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Katrina>, alongside a bleak
look at the effects of mankind’s actions on the planet.

In January 2007 Lynas published *Gem Carbon
Counter*,[3]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Lynas#cite_note-2>containing
instruction to calculate people’s personal carbon emissions and
recommendations about how to reduce their impact on the atmosphere.

In 2007 he published *Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter
Planet<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees:_Our_Future_on_a_Hotter_Planet>
*, a book detailing the progressive effect of global
warming<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming>in several
planetary ecosystems, from 1 degree to 6 degrees and further of
average temperature rise of the planet. Special coverage is given to the
positive feedback mechanisms that could dramatically accelerate the climate
change <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change>, possibly putting the
climate on a runaway path. As a possible end scenario the release of methane
hydrate <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_hydrate> from the bottom of
the oceans could replicate the end-Permian extinction
event<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian-Triassic_extinction_event>
.

In 2008 National
Geographic<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Geographic>released a
documentary film based on Lynas’s book, entitled

World*.[1]<http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/sixdegrees/>

In November 2009, President of Maldives appoints him as the advisor on
climate change.
