Climate Change March

Strangely, I posted something yesterday about this, and it's disappeared into the ether. No matter. There was a great deal of media coverage about the more than 25000 people who converged on Trafalgar Square for the Stop Climate Chaos events. This is a good collection of photos from the demo. Stop Climate Chaos is a coalition of environment and development groups, faith groups, humanitarian organisations, women’s groups, and trade unions pushing for three key demands:

- Action internationally: ensure that global greenhouse gas emissions are irreversibly declining by 2015.
- Action for justice: deliver assistance to developing countries to adapt to climate change and give access to clean energy to meet their developmental needs.
- Action in the UK: introduce a Climate Bill to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 3% per year.
