Labour: we will cut emissions by 80 per cent by 2050 | Greenpeace UK

...Well, as Miliband himself acknowledges, setting the target is the easy bit. Meeting the target is the hard bit - and requires determined action from Gordon Brown now, and from every one of his successors for the next four decades.

This is a great start, but the Greenpeace UK climate team isn't out of a job just yet.

Bill Nye: The CO2-phobic Guy « It’s Getting Hot In Here

...And he did not let us down. The science guy was energetic, at times quite funny, but most important he was motivating. After discussing CO2 emissions and how the world is warming faster than ever expected, he told the students “This is climate change. You are now members of the climate generation.”

As his speech drew to a close Bill Nye excitedly proclaimed, “You can change the world!” Students cheered greatly in response to his confidence in the spirit of our generation. After he finished his talk, we were given the opportunity to ask him questions. When asked if he would support a moratorium on coal-fired power plants, Nye immediately said he absolutely would. Many students screamed in support.

He then took a question from a member of our Power Vote team, Tex Condreay. Bill Nye was asked if he would sign our pledge to vote for clean and just energy solutions. He verbally said that he would. However, due to the large number of questions he had left to answer he said he would further address the pledge after all the questions. Tex found him later at the reception and Bill Nye again stated he would be happy to sign our pledge. His assistant took Tex’s address to mail the completed pledge and we are eagerly awaiting it.

Most importantly, every person attending the event heard one of our childhood icons support a moratorium on coal and how he will be voting for clean and just energy solutions!
