Quotes

Also occuring in Canberra this week is a Climate Justice Fast outside Parliament House. Beyond Zero Emissions visited their camp and said "These three people on hunger strike outside Parliament House are one component of the Climate Justice Fast - an international hunger strike for climate justice and for urgent and science-based actions to prevent catastrophic global warming. There are around 100 people around the world taking part in fasts of varying length as part of this action, with numbers growing day by day. Eight of these people, including Paul and Michael here in Canberra are doing the 'full' fast, which is indefinite and will probably go until after the Copenhagen negotiations finish - a total of six weeks without food!"
