As a member of Transition Kidderminster I would like to make Shuttle readers aware that Transition are involved in organising election hustings in Wyre Forest Constituency, where there will be an opportunity to quiz parliamentary candidates.
As an environmentally aware organisation, Transition see this as an opportunity to compare party positions on Climate Change and to ensure that the candidate we return for Wyre Forest has Climate Change high on his/her priority list.
There is extremely strong scientific evidence that limiting planetary temperature rise to 2°C absolute maximum can only be achieved by leaving most of the known fossil reserves in the ground. Only a dedicated effort at the December Paris International Meeting on Climate Change can make this happen.
We therefore need a UK government, whatever its colour or blend of colours, that is totally committed to keeping our planet habitable for future generations. We ask voters to help make this happen.
The Hustings: April 14 - Baxter Church, Kidderminster; April 15 - St Michael’s Church, Stourport; April 24- St George’s Hall, Bewdley.
