I Count - Stop Climate Chaos

Come and be counted at the biggest climate change event of the year

Remember, Remember the 4th of November

Stop Climate Chaos has announced the lively line up for its Saturday 4th November 2006 ‘I Count’ event held in London’s Trafalgar Square between 1-3pm. Thousands are expected to attend and ‘be counted’ at the free event that will take place on the eve of global climate change talks in Nairobi, demanding that the UK Government negotiate an international deal to keep global warming levels less that 2 degrees centigrade and introduce a Climate Change Bill into the Queens speech.

Speakers to include: KT Tunstall, Rob Newman, Miranda Richardson, Simon Amstell, Rufus Hound, Ashok Sinha (Director – Stop Climate Chaos), Bishop of Liverpool, Adam Hart Davis, Dr Hany El Banna (President – Islamic relief) and Sharon Looremeta.

"This is going to be the biggest climate change event this year and an opportunity for all of us who care to stand up and be counted. The I Count event in Trafalgar Square on Saturday 4th November promises to be a great day out and by joining us you can send a clear message to the Government that we want them to do all they can to stop climate chaos. We encourage everyone to turn up or sign up online www.icount.org.uk or text ‘I Count’ to 84424.  In the run up to critical climate change talks in Nairobi, now is the time to make our voices heard - come and be counted!" Ashok Sinha – Director, Stop Climate Chaos.

‘I Count’ is designed to inspire personal and political action and counter the view that climate change is too big a problem to fix.  The campaign has the backing of a diverse range of high profile supporters.

‘I Count because... the world is facing its greatest man-made threat ever - climate change. Urgent action is needed - by individuals and most of all governments. Without political will, action on the scale required will not be possible.’ David Attenborough

‘I Count because… I care about the disappearance of species and land from the impact of climate change and it will disappear in my life time if nothing is done.’ KT Tunstall

 ‘I Count because... I believe we must lead the way both in reducing our personal use of the planet's resources as well as calling on our government to make laws that support this.’ Alistair McGowan
