I hope you have enjoyed what has been written. Climate change is not a complicated issue, but our society's dependence on fossil fuels means there has always been something to write about.
I'm sure the question the marchers will now be asked is: 'Was it worth it?'
We can never know all the effects of our campaigning actions. The world is too complex for that. But the threat of climate change is so great we can't not campaign.
However, this march will have been a failure if it has not inspired more people to campaign. The science is saying we are almost on the brink of runaway climate change. We have to act now. But we also have to continue campaigning year-after-year; no one protest, postcard or direct action can ever be enough.
Please join the World Development Movement so you can campaign with them on climate change and other issues of global justice, now and into the future:

Congratulations, all of you!
It must have been more arduous and trying, not just the hard slog of the march, than we admiring onlookers can imagine.
Don't doubt you've all sown thousands of seeds on your way in people's imaginations, so don't get depressed after your huge efoort if nothing much changes immediately, even though it needs to. I'm sure many of those seeds will germinate and create lots more carbon-cutting activists. You've inspired me to do more.
Best wishes to you all. Hope to see you tomorrow.
Well done Tim + all the marchers! - I've really enjoyed keeping track of your progress these last few months on the blog (which according to the google stats as been read far and wide!) I look forward to seeing you on Tuesday!
