Description

Climate activist and author of Climate Code Red David Spratt pictured in front of Melbourne Town Hall. In April 2009 <a href="http://www.engagemedia.org/Members/takver/videos/Moreland_climate_debate2_20090420.mpg/view" rel="nofollow">David Spratt debated the Rudd Government's climate change policies with Labor MP Kelvin Thomson</a> in a debate organised by <a href="http://morelandclimategroup.org/" rel="nofollow">Moreland ClimateGroup</a>.

On June 13, 2009 thousands of people rallied for action on Climate Change. On a cold and bleak Melbourne winter day thousands gathered at the State Library where they heard from Greens Senator Bob Brown and 'Climate Codered' author and climate activist David Spratt, and other speakers. Leaving the State Library, people marched down Swanston Street to the front of the Melbourne Town Hall where the crowd was asked to do a sitdown protest. Inside the Town Hall the Victorian State Conference of the Australian Labor Party was meeting. A woman from Tuvalu spoke on the rising seas threat to her country and other low lying nations. Damien Lawson, National Climate Change Co-ordinator for Friends of the Earth spoke on the need for a campaign of popular civil disobedience if politicians continue taking no action or ineffectual action to rapidly decrease carbon emissions. The march then continued to Treasury Gardens.
