Global warming rally in Annapolis

Here.

Excerpt:

Almost 500 global warming activists are expected to wave signs and unveil a long green carpet at 11 a.m. tomorrow (1/17/08) on Lawyers Mall outside the State House in Annapolis.

Their goal: convince state lawmakers to stroll down the symbolic rug and endorse a law that would reduce global warming pollution by 25 percent by 2020 and 90 percent by 2050.

Update: According to this article, the turnout seems to be much less than expected:

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Even as more than 200 environmental activists gathered Thursday outside the State House to call for action to confront global warming, state officials indicated that a proposal to adopt a carbon emissions cap faces a tough road in the Legislature.
