global action against climate change should consist of many many local actions and not require travelling long distances to walk around for a while.
it not right to use climate change as a platform for selling books, distributing leaflets and pushing agendas.
good luck with your march all the same.

Firstly, Jonathan Neale writes books - so what? Are you some kind of fundamentalist or Nazi? but his main priority is to build a mass movement to change society. I'm not sure what your problem is with books? Personally as an environmentalists I have found the writings of people like George Monbiot, John Bellamy Foster, Joel Kovel, Murray Bookchin, Mark Lynas and Mayer Hillman on these issues quite useful - do you oppose people writing books on climate change? This is not a commercial book tour but a meeting organised by an activist organisation to debate and discuss the most important political and moral issue of our time.
Secondly, supporting national events like the climate camp or climate change marches are not counterposed to local actions. In fact, the aim is to inspire people to go back to their communities and build grassroots communities of resistance.
Finally, everyone has an "agenda".

but i can't go along with suggestions that books and walks will facilitate the required behavioural change on a personal, social, economic and policy level that is required to bring low-carbon living into reality. and on a personal level i don't find marches inspiring, empowering or informative.
shall we leave it at that.
