Ask the Climate Question

Posted by anewholm - 19 March 2010 at 11:03am - 2 Comments

Did you know that Greenpeace is part of a coalition of NGOs (including Christian Aid, WWF, CAFOD and others) called 'Ask the climate question?'

It asks people to 'ask the climate question' when candidates and canvassers appear on your doorstep - basically, to ask what the candidate's opinion is on action to tackle climate change. This way, parties will relaise that people are intersted and that it should be an election question. There will also be hustings specifically relating to this. More info soon...

The coalition includes Greenpeace, Oxfam, WWF, RSPB, Christian Aid, the World Development Movement, People and Planet, Tearfund the Green Alliance, and a few others.

Between us we have 5-15,000 regular supporters in Islington & Finsbury which is really interesting as our current MP Emily Thornberry has a majority of 484

We think that the next MP (whoever they are) should be made very aware of the number of people in his/her constituency that are worried about climate change. This is an issue that will win, or lose them votes.

We want to ask them the climate question and make sure that the candidates we vote for have very good answers……
