"We Are Here, And We Are Powerful" ...

... is what Green MP Caroline Lucas had to say to the crowds outside Westminster on Saturday at the climax of the "Time to Act" March for Climate Change Action.

Myself and a group of like-minded friends headed to Lincolns Inn Fields in London to join several thousand other concerned folks for a Climate March on Westminster. Our goal was to deliver a message that whatever government takes seat on May 8th, they absolutely must tackle climate change as a priority.

The irony of an unseasonably warm day was not lost, though the clement weather was much appreciated and spirits were high. With homemade banners at the ready, our slow slog took us down Kingsway and past the many intrigued tourists of the Strand, before a home stretch along Whitehall brought us to the day's conclusion and a selection of speeches at Parliament Square.

Here is me and my banner:

I was excited to hear Lucas speak, as well as a host of speakers from a cross-section of the environmental movement such as Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth, as well as more regional groups like Frack-Free Lancashire and 'No Third Runway at Heathrow' .

A brilliant day, and a promising start of public pressure in the build up to the big Paris Summit in December.

Here is a short summary of the day's events:
