[edit] The I Count Campaign
The I Count campaign aims to ensure that world leaders act on rising global greenhouse gas emissions in order to keep average global temperature increase to under 2°C (3.6°F) and so avoiding the more serious consequences of global warming.
In 2006 the campaign focused on the lead up to the Queen's speech, urging the Government to introduce a Climate Change Bill in the forthcoming Parliamentary session - including legally binding cuts in emissions (3% per year and 50% by 2050), and an annual carbon budget.
The campaign is now focusing on the contents of the Climate Change Bill and have criticised the initial proposals as failing to take into account the 2ºC 'global warming danger threshold'.[1]
