The Climate Emergency Network Charter is attached.
Please come along to meet with members of the Network.

• View the latest version of the Climate Code Red slide show.
• Learn how to train as a presenter of the slide show and Climate Code Red emergency message.

I am appauled at how gullable you people are. Have any of you bothered to look at the real science on climate change and not just the hype produced by the main stream media and the corperate and political elite? Have any of you bother to view the petition of 31000 Scientists rebuking carbon dioxide as the main cause of climate change? Do any of you understand the real motives behind global warming?
Let me say that I agree we need to protect the enviroment that is a given, but your energies need to be focused on real issues such as illegal logging for example and not wasting time fighting a proven myth. Please please look at the real science not the science that is funded by vested interests groups or listening to politiciains who also have a lot to gain. We as a community and our childrens communities are going to pay a very hefty price for your misgivings in the form of poverty and a major drops in our standing of living due to a new and very expensive TAX know as a carbon trading. Every being on the planet needs carbon dioxide to survive without it all life will perish. The planet is designed to function with carbon dioxide.
I will give you an example: 1 large Volcano produces 12 times the amount of CO2 in a year than all of the CO2 humans produce in 10years, thats 1 volcano!!! Please wake up I beg you OR we are going to suffer far worse than any change in climate will do.
Do your own research understand and wake up be a leader a sheeple
I only just noticed this, sorry it took so long to respond...
well obviously we're climate activists here on this website so we are probably all fairly familiar with the climate-denier arguments put here. For those who want to understand in more depth I just read a great article at Monthly Review available at their website. Or alternatively a great debunking of all sorts of climate denial myths is online at this blog and many other sites on the web.
And just for the record, I don't personally support carbon trading -- not only does it make the poor pay for the polluters' cleanup, it won't stop global warming in time either!
