Nick Clegg and Simon Hughes will be taking to the streets of London on Saturday 5th December to demand the Government got further in tackling climate change.
As an email from Simon Hughes stiringly says:
We are the party that has the courage to tackle climate change in Britain. We will go furthest on cutting carbon emissions. Go furthest in generating renewable energy. And go furthest in insulating homes.
But climate change can only be tackled by global action – and that is why the Copenhagen conference is so important. It could prove to be the most important in our lifetimes.
The march on December 5 is a chance for us to show the Government how strongly people in Britain feel. We can’t let this opportunity pass. And a strong Liberal Democrat presence on the march will send a clear message to the nation that we are the only party with the ambition and policies to reverse climate change.
There’s more information on the main Lib Dem site.

Simon is doing a brilliant job bringing together, Lib Dem Councils to work on climate change, his campaigns in Parliament, showing up the other two parties, internationally and through our MEPs. Only the Liberal Democrats have the courage to really tackle climate change in Britain and carry the campaign to Copenhagen by giving a lead.
Well done Simon.
Good to see this posted, this is the most important issue facing the world today.
I hope lots of Lib Dems will go on it.
It is unacceptable that the government insists on building a third runway at Heathrow and building new coal mines.
