Copenhagen

Without doubt the Copenhagen conference was a failure. Whilst the people of the world had made it perfectly clear what they wanted, the worlds leaders failed miserably to do their duty, and come up with a fair, legally binding treaty. It would not be fair to brand all leaders as a failure. Gordon Brown’s committed leadership, saved the conference from being even more of a disaster than it was. The American and Chinese leaders however should be hanging their heads in shame. They let narrow political dogma and big business interests get in the way of a deal. History I feel will judge them harshly for this.

Gordon Brown

I have just come out of a conference call with Gordon Brown, organized by Avaaz.org. The British Prime Minister answered questions from around the world put to him by members of Avaaz. This clearly demonstrates the power of the international community to co-operate, working over the internet, to let politicians know the strength of feeling amongst members of the public on the issue of climate change. As citizens of planet earth we all have a responsibility to our shared future on this fragile world of ours.

One of the delegates asked Gordon, what we could do to help support his leadership, in trying to persuading other world leaders to sign up to a legally binding treaty on carbon emissions, at Copenhagen. His answer was to continue to protest, to make our voices heard and to lobby politicians. One of the ways you can do this it to sign up to the Climate Change Secretary, Ed Milliband’s Pledge.

On Saturday 5th December 2009 the Stop Climate Chaos Coalition organised The Wave. A demonstration against climate change in the lead up to Copenhagen that attracted 40,000 people. The March set off from Grosvenor square, parading through central London and ended up surrounding the Houses of Parliament. It was the largest ever climate change demonstration in the UK and clearly demonstrated peoples strength of feeling on this most crucial of issues to confront mankind.

Michael Fish, Greta Scacci and Peter Capaldi show their support for The Wave.
