"While there has been a shift in public sentiment on climate change over the last two years, we have a long way to go before we as a nation give it anywhere near the seriousness it demands. The crazy debate over petrol rices proves that.
Campaigning by citizens groups and NGO's is more important than ever. If we do manage to get the climate crisis under control in the next 10-20 years it will only be because of the efforts of those who were willing to make a personal sacrifice to demand that our political leaders act."
