‘Climate Question Time’ Event at Thomas Hardye school
Reply
I have been asked to remind people of the WEST DORSET ‘Climate Question Time’ Event at Thomas Hardye school this coming Friday. Please forward to your networks especially NOPE and WPTT.

However since then Oliver Letwin has made representations to include the Green party, and invitations are being extended invitations to the UKIP and Green candidates. This could change the format somewhat.
Questions on South Dorset issues such as the biofuels power plant on Portland are welcome.
The South Dorset event in the Ocean Room on Sat 24th hangs in the balance. We need commitment from Jim Knight or Richard Drax by noon tomorrow. Continue reading

Vigil for Copenhagen Climate Meet
It is proposed to hold a climate change vigil next Saturday (12th Dec) in Weymouth Town centre to help persuade our leaders to come to a real deal. This will be one of thousands of such vigils throughout the world. Start time 5 pm in the square between Debenhams and St Thomas Street. Bring a candle and /or torch and ideally a placard with a simple message on why you think this is important.
But we need a good turn out… [The word is on the street, and this vigil will go ahead. The weather is expected to be dry but chilly, so wrap up warm.
Anybody: bring camera, videocamera to document the vigil. - P.J.]
