Emergency Demo: Action on Climate Change is not "Red Tape"

Campaign against Climate Change | 20.04.2011 20:10 | Ecology | Energy Crisis | Public sector cuts

Urgent Demonstration outside the Department of Business, Skills and Innovation, Victoria Street (Westminster or St. James’s Park tube).

This Thursday, 21st April from 5.00 pm to 6.30 pm

The government is defining the Climate Act, crucial legislation against the greatest threat facing humanity, as “red tape”

Not only that but a host of other environmental legislation like the Wildlife and Countryside Act are potentially being thrown on the deregulation bonfire.

and  http://www.bis.gov.uk/

This looks like the thin end of the wedge of a trend towards deregulation that in the US, for instance, is threatening to roll back decades of environmental progress – as well as preventing any kind of meaningful action to prevent catastrophic climate change.

What are they thinking? Are the Tory dinosaurs within the coalition winning? Don’t let them get away with it!

Demonstrate on Thursday! Bring red tape!

Please spread the word about this demo!
