CCA Newsletter Issue 33
STOP PRESS:
We've got a chance tomorrow (Sat 5th
Dec) to show climate Minister Ed Milib that the deniers
and sceptics don't speak for us, and keep the pressure up for
action on climate change in advance of his attendance at the
Climate Change talks next week..
Be part of the pressure, register to join the call tomorrow at 10am.
There's still time to sign up for our phone call with
climate Minister Ed Miliband. 38 Degrees members have set the
agenda and will be asking the questions - it's our chance to make
sure he has our message ringing in his ears when he sits round the
negotiating table at the international climate talks next week.
Register NOW!!

achievements for the year and was delighted to discover
they have been many and varied.
