Part of a Global Day of Action on climate (www.globalclimatecampaign.org) on the Saturday midway through the UN Climate Talks in Cancún, Mexico.

Challenge the government to take the action we need to meet the climate threat.
The failure of the international Talks in Copenhagen doesn't mean the threat of catastrophic Climate Change has got any less grave or less urgent. Don't let them think last year's big climate demo was just a 'one-off wonder'. Tell them we need urgent action now and take to government a message and vision for a Zero Carbon Britain that won't just stop with this demo but that we can build on afterwards!

And building a Zero Carbon Britain means Climate Jobs Now: we have a positive vision not only for addressing the global threat of climate catastrophe but also for the economic crisis.

Timetable:

10.30 am Protest Bike ride assembles at Lincoln's Inn Fields - to join the main protest at Hyde Park later.

11.00 am Climate Service at the Church of the Annunciation, Bryanston Street organised by Christian Ecology.

This march is very ironic taking place when Britain is facing it's coldest winter for decades! If the global warming theory is correct then how come it is so bloody cold?

As climate change progresses, its expected to undermine the flow of the Gulf stream, which gives the British isles its mild winter climate. So .. colder winters.
