Extract from Parliament UK:
Angela Browning (Tiverton and Honiton) (Con): I present a
petition that has been organised by Crediton Climate Action and has
signatures from people in the town of Crediton, surrounding
villages and many local organisations. Playing an especial part in
this have been my constituents Gerald and Laura Conyngham, who are
cycling to Copenhagen from Crediton to take part and make their
views known.
The petition states:
The Petition of residents of the
constituency of Tiverton and Honiton in Devon and others, regarding
the Climate Change Talks in Copenhagen in December 2009,
Declares that the following should
result from the Copenhagen Talks: all countries should agree to
take urgent action to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the
atmosphere to 350 parts per million; developed countries should
take the lead, given our major responsibility for past emissions;
and developed countries should give financial help to the
developing world to help them adapt to climate change and invest in
renewable energies.
The Petitioners therefore request
that the House of Commons urges the Government to do all it can at
Copenhagen to achieve these goals.
