MARCH ON PARLIAMENT for the climate

The march goes to Parliament to demand that the government act now on climate. Starts at 12 noon at the US Embassy, Grosvenor Square. Climate protest bike ride starts from Lincoln's Inn Fields at 10.30 am: and joins start of march later. See  http://www.campaigncc.org/bikeride.shtml

The March on Parliament has four main themes -
1) NO to a 3rd runway at Heathrow and the runaway expansion in aviation expansion.
2) NO new coal - no new coal-fired power stations as planned at eg
Kingsnorth in Kent
3) NO to the expansion of agrofuels - with negative impacts on forests, the climate and world food supply.
4) YES to a renewable energy revolution and green jobs

The March on Parliament for the Climate marks the Saturday midway through the UN Climate Talks in Poznan, Poland and we make our demands on the UK government in solidarity with the world's poorest and most vulnerable communities that will suffer worst and most immediately from climate change caused overwhelmingly by the rich long-industrialised countries..
