>People in England, being hit by the worst storm in a decade, just got
>a taste of what climate change might mean for Europeans. The rapid
>increase of extreme weather events, like droughts in the South of
>Europe or the floods in Italy, is a strong warning signal to take the
>threat of global warming seriously. Klaus Tpfer (UNEP) is right:
>"Climate change is already happening!" At the same time, the UN
>Climate Treaty is threatened by governments like the US or Australia,
>which try to water it down in order to avoid real CO2 reduction at
>home. The position of European governments is getting weaker and
>weaker.
>
>WE WILL NOT LET THIS HAPPEN!
>
>Join us in The Hague on November 18th to give a strong signal to world
