1) NO to a 3rd runway at Heathrow and runaway aviation expansion
2) NO new coal – no new coal-fired power stations as planned at Kingsnorth in Kent

4) YES to a renewable energy revolution and green jobs – a "Green New Deal"

“We are well into the opening phase of a mass extinction of species. There are about 10 million species on earth. If we carry on as we are, we could lose half of all those 10 million species. The whole thing is taking place in what you might call a flickering of an evolutionary eye. [...] We would be the first generation in the whole of human history since we came out of our caves to tackle a mass extinction head on and cancel it... and if we do, I think people will cheer for us from thousands of years ahead.”
Prof Norman Myers
British environmentalist and authority on biodiversity (1934-),
quoted in ‘Largest mass extinction in 65 million years underway, scientists say’ [5]
Such a realisation is motivating a growing number of people to take action to push this most important of global issues up to the top of the news and political agenda, where it belongs. So in the middle of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Talks (COP 14/MOP 4), in Poznan, Poland [6], people in 94 countries around the world took part in a Global Day of Climate Action [7]. In London, organisers of the National Climate March – the Campaign against Climate Change [8] – estimated that 10,000 people took part in the event, highlighting four of the most pressing issues that need addressing urgently.
