Thousands March in Australian Cities Today for 'Walk Against Warming'.

Sydney Daily Telegraph, November 11, 2007.

"Thousands of people have marched through Australia's streets today for the second annual Walk Against Warming, [see: http://www.walkagainstwarming.org/] calling for greater action on climate change and renewable energy targets. In Sydney, organisers said crowd marshals counted more than 28,000 people in the city's Domain and on a round-trip walk through the city. Nature Conservation Council's Cate Faehrmann said early estimates suggested as many as 150,000 people had marched in similar protests across the country. 'It's a big message that's being sent to the next government to get more serious on climate change and give us more than what we've seen today.' Ms Faehrmann called on the next elected government for a short-term target to reduce greenhouse pollution by at least 30 per cent by 2020... In Adelaide, thousands also took to the streets... Organisers had predicted some 25,000 people would participate in the Adelaide event and the number came close to that, said Greens spokeswoman Gemma Clark."
