Walk Against Warming
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CLIMATE PROTEST
11am Saturday December 3, 2005
Starting at Sydney Town Hall, walking to Hyde Park North
Bring: Family, friends, kids, bikes, placards, sunflowers
Part of international demonstrations on climate change on Saturday 3rd December 2005, timed to coincide with the 'MOP' Climate Talks (28th November to 9th December) in Montreal. These demonstrations will demand that the USA and Australia ratify the Kyoto Protocol immediately, and that the entire world community move as rapidly as possible to a stronger emissions reductions treaty that will be both equitable and effective in stabilising 'greenhouse' gases and preventing dangerous climate change.
It's time for communities to mobilise and demand the government take the necessary steps to avert dangerous climate change. Representatives from NGOs, student groups, church groups, unions, etc as well as individual organisers and activists are all urged to help build this December 3 day of action in Australia. Lets make the community voice heard on this urgent issue through coordinated protests in our cities and regional centres.
Information about events in regional centres will be advertised as it

I'm forwarding this from the latest Greens party bulletin. I bet it'll be the hottest day of the year. Which will only be appropriate, really.
