As we go round the UK, our message is that climate change is impacting on the poorest people in the world first and worst. But of course it is and will have effects here in the UK as well.
On Friday 20 July we passed through Gordon Brown’s constituency. I had the honour of speaking at the meeting where we met his election agent. Whilst Gordon had passed on his support for our march, we were clear that the real support we want to see is a stronger climate bill.
In the evening we had an evening cruise on the Forth with members of the public to speak to them about climate change. The captain of the boat had something to add as well. Puffins in the Forth are disappearing as the sea gets warmer and the fish they eat head north.
Across the Fourth we could see North Queensferry where Prime Minister Brown has his home outside London. We didn’t know which house was his, but given how low and close to the sea they were, I’d guess half of North Queensferry will be underwater by the end of the century.
