There is a national climate change march in central London on Saturday the 8th of December. And an after party for it too. See the details below:

Assemble 12 noon at Milbank, central London, then march off at 1pm for a rally at Grovesnor Square in Mayfair which will take place at 2:30pm.

There is also an after party at the Synergy Centre. 220 Farmers Road, Camberwell, south London from 5pm to 7am though the place will most likely not get busy until 9pm. It is 3pounds entry before 10pm and 5 pounds entry after.

The turnout for this was quite low due to heavy persistant rain for most of the day. I would say about four thousand took part, though organisers put the figure at ten thousand, but then march organisers always exaggerate.

There was an all night after party later in the day at a south London squat which was quite good.

Forgive me greystone if I am missing something here.
How does it figure that we are to be encouraged to do our bit for world climate change by people who have a "squat party".
Helping themselves to someone else's buildings, resources and no doubt upsetting the neighbors with the noise etc is supposed to encourage me to want to make the earth a better place so those people can continue to party in some squat, smug in the belief that the air they breathe is that little bit safer?
I don't get it sorry.
Its like the Reclaim The Streets people encouraging us to set up a street party in the middle of a busy motorway and waste gallons of water by setting off hydrants - a lot of RTS members are Climate Change brigade.
Sorry no offense love, but it just doesn't make any sense to me.

Please don't think I'm 'having a go' cuz I'm not.
It just seems to me that I cant really see me marching on the streets of london to tell people in peru to switch off all un-used lights then head home and leave the lights on in the public toilets in my own town ("I don't pay the council electricity bill, so why should I care?") and have my own home lit up like a christmas tree.
Or march on the streets of london to ask people in japan not to litter their streets and come home and drop sweetie papers on my own doorstep ("let the binmen clean it up").
The two just dont seem to co-relate, t'is all.

Perhaps I just have an ill-informed opinion of squats and squat parties.

Well the party was held in a long term squat for which the owners had no imediate use for. The building it self was also serving a purpose to the local community as the squatters there were using it as a community centre to provide resources to the local community.

A climate change march put off by bad weather?

You couldn't make this shit up.

A climate change march itself is pretty useless....I am also sure most of the people joining the march have not even starting doing something about it in their own homes yet....you can start with little things that you can influence....if 99.999% of the people joining such a march have not "done" anything yet apart from joining a march, it does not help anyone.

Was this a march against the so called "man made" global warming lie?

I hope they also protested about the solar Gobal Warming phenomenom, like Triton, Mars, Pluto and our very own Sun warming up...

Guess theres nothing they could've done about the end of the last ice Age when the Earth warmed up a wee bit more than it is doing now...A march against against the warm period between 2000 and 900 years ago, would be useless, ye know...When the Little Ice Age came and we are now still moving out of?

Or would they like us to go back to the Little Ice Age?

These people are deluded by the likes of "huge carbon footprint" Al Gore and his pop idol cronies swanning around the world in their private jet planes telling us to stop erm..well..swanning around the world in jet planes...A holes...

Thank you jumpwings. I was wondering when someone would mention the fact that everything that is happening at the moment also happened about 600 years ago. Seeing as there are still living things on this planet it quite clearly did not wipe out the human race, or animals, etc, so why should it now.

Its just a huge conspiracy aimed at our pockets to make us spend money on things we do not need so we can allegedly reverse the whole process! Hello???????

The late, great Bill Hicks once claimed it was a lie that smoking killed you, because he had proof that non-smokers also died every day. But he knew he was joking, of course.

Or, to put it another way, "contributing to" is not the same as "causing"...

So what 'contributed' to it 600 yrs ago then? Cant be exhaust emissions, or gas, etc. In those days everything used would have been natural.

Like you, I would assume that previous episodes of global warming & cooling etc. have been entirely natural. However, that hardly invalidates the theory that increased human industrial activity may now have a contributory effect to a similar end.

Not that i am against this idea in principal but don't you think the irony is a bit thick when you fill the streets with buses and cars trying to get to a climate change rally? I would rather use social engineering to shock people into making a change.
