Let's Talk, Gordon is a new grassroots campaign urging the Prime Minister to make a televised address to the nation on climate change. They believe that an address from Gordon Brown would be the ideal way to start a national debate on climate change, and through that debate, Britain could develop an effective action plan responding to this threat in which Government, business and normal people all play a full and active role. I'll support almost anything positive that is trying to wake this Government up to climate change although I fear it could end up with yet more spin from them - talking they are good at, action is what we need. However with a real debate and dialogue action can often follow - we have not had those conversations we need.
It was good to see Chas Fellows, Leader of Stroud District Council start a debate on wind power this last week (see my blog on 20th March 08) - it is a debate Greens have long called for - indeed the Environment Green paper consultation was hugely lacking because it failed to address issues like that.
