Carnival of Climate Chaos!

Here are a few pictures from the Sat Nov 4 Carnival of Climate Chaos marching through central London, heading to Trafalgar Square for the I Count rally



At the start of the march - from left, Ellie, Stu, Phil, Jon, Jenny, Ed, Rob, Holly










Tom and Matthias in the middle of the procession, with Charlotte trying to hide from the camera in between them











Looking down the street - the art installation that is the Carnival of Climate Chaos! We were going for a completely different look to the regular cacophony of banners and placards and it was really impressive seeing a sea of weather symbols stretching down a street!








Ellie and Jennie with shaker (no, that's not a water bottle) and I Count badges!












Ed with his tongue out:

1-2-3-4 Cutting carbon must be law
5-6-7-8 2010 may be too late!










The mega art installation arrives in Trafalgar Square to a sea of people already there - it must
have looked really cool to have this stream of clouds and suns and lightning bolts flowing down from one street into the Square!










Packed to bursting point - the crowd didn't thin even when a technical failure with the sound system resulted in a short delay! (needed to get onto a backup diesel generator)










Jon says I Count! (together with about 25,00 other people) Check out Big Ben down Whitehall over Jon's shoulder to the left











Razorlight on the main stage in Trafalgar Square!
