Climate Change demo in London - a hopeful day! it may have been difficult not to get disappointed that the crowds were not larger - but the 3 to 5000 were noisy with drumming, smiling, packed with banners & placards. the urgency of the Climate and worldwide emmissions was described on stage by the speakers, many of whom advocated and encouraged civil disobedience - the governments and carbon corporates MUST be forced to make huge changes to their strategy if we are to avoid horrific catastrophy - they are NOT ACTING - caught up in neo-liberal profit orientated agendas. The public needs to be encouraged, roused from their sense of hopelessness & powerlessness and call for a New Green Deal - thousands of jobs building mass renewable energy wind & solar, insulating the millions of old leaky homes. We call for car free cities, publicly owned clean safe frequent and very cheap public transport.
