East Midlands Airport targeted by Gordon Brown

Notts IMC | 11.03.2008 08:56 | Climate Chaos

Climate Action Network Nottinghamshire, a Friends of the Earth led coalition of environmental campaign groups, have called a Day of Action on the Climate Change Bill, and are set to target East Midlands Airport - under the guise of a rush of Gordon Browns.

East Midlands Day of Action on the Climate Change Bill

CAN WE BE GORDON BROWN FOR THE DAY?

"You are cordially invited to an East Midlands Day of Action on the Climate Change Bill outside East Midlands Airport on Saturday April 12th from 1.30 until 3 p.m."


What’s it all about?

The Government has introduced a Climate Change Bill which will become law in 2008. However, the Bill they propose is not strong enough to realise the carbon dioxide emission cuts that are needed to ensure global emissions are kept below dangerous levels. We are campaigning to see 3 key amendments in the Bill:

* An increase in the overall target for 2050 to 80 per cent CO2 reductions;
* The inclusion of the UK’s share of international aviation and shipping emissions;
* The adoption of annual targets rather than 5 year budgets.

We need to highlight the need for ALL emissions to be included in the Climate Change Bill and show how Gordon Brown and his government are wilfully ignoring the impact of international aviation emissions.


What’s the Plan?

We’d like to get as many people as possible posing outside the airport wearing Gordon Brown masks with their hands over their eyes, as the planes fly overhead. The image is intended to show how Gordon Brown is wilfully ignoring international aviation.


How do I get involved?

We will provide all the masks and props for the day but we need you to register your attendance by contacting  callie.lister@foe.co.uk or calling 0115 9506 926, this will allow us to alert the press in advance as to how many Gordon Browns they can expect outside the airport! If you can, please wear a dark suit and tie for an even better Gordon Brown effect!

You can find information about public transport to the airport at skylink.co.uk.

We will meet by the airport sign outside the front of the airport at 1.30 p.m. If you need to contact us on the day for any reason you can call 07831 648 171 – but please do register your attendance in advance.
