Climate Talks
Trade Talks
Money Talks
All talk and no ACTION!

But not in Edinburgh! Street party, critical mass and conference planned as part of UK week of climate action called by Rising Tide UK


The next round of UN climate changes negotiations take place in Bonn,
Germany from 16th-23rd July (COP6.5 to discuss the Kyoto Protocol). The
immediate 60% cuts in greenhouse gases scientists state is the required
action is not even being discussed. The cut being negotiated is 5.2% across
developed countries, with important exclusions, such as aviation and
international freight (so as not to interfere with globalisation?).

Make you opposition known - join hundreds of others in the streets with
your bike for 'Critical Mass', and a grand tour of Edinburgh's climate
change landmarks.

When? Friday 20th July, 5.30 pm
Where? Festival Square (large square on Lothian Rd, next to Shearaton
Hotel, opposite Usher Hall)
What to bring? Yourselves, friends and bikes, rollerskates or equivalent,
anything thats colourful and/or makes a noise!
