Climate Change is an issue that should be of concern to everyone. Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans showed not only the terrible damage caused by increasingly volatile weather - but also that the worst effected by climate destabilisation will be poor and working class people. Already there are thousands of "climate refugees" who meet racism and closed borders.
Hurricane Katrina was a glimpse of what will be happening on a much larger scale across the world, if our government's fail to take action to cut greenhouse gas emissions now - and it will be ordinary people who will bear the brunt of floods, drought, famine, and the economic turmoil caused by climate catastrophe.
This week, government Chief Scientist Sir David King, predicted that a 3 degree rise in temperature would cause 400 million to starve as cereal crops failed,
and leave up to 3 billion people without water.
Cardiff Campaign against Climate Change, along with other environmental and political organisations in Wales, is planning a mass demonstration and protest march demanding tough action on climate change. The march will go through Cardiff city centre, and end with speeches from representatives from environmental organisations, political parties, trade unions and others.
