Scottish Climate Change Rally

Over 600 people turned out in front of the Scottish Parliament yesterday (22nd April 2009) on a beautiful Edinburgh sunny day. Their message to MSPs was simple; they must pass a strong world leading Climate Change (Scotland) Bill before Copenhagen.
The Stop Climate Chaos Scotland coalition rally was held just two days before the TICC Committee of the Scottish Parliament is due to publish its Stage 1 report on the Bill.

Representatives from all the political parties made speeches with the strong message that action is urgently needed now! Read the rest of Scottish Climate Change Rally …
