Background - July 8, 2009
Over 100 activists are taking action right now in Italy - calling on G8 leaders to act NOW! Check out the live feed from these events -- www.greenpeace.org/G8action --
G8 leaders can save the planet from catastrophic climate
change. With just over 150 days left until a climate rescue plan is
agreed at Copenhagen, it is vital leaders take responsibility and
break the deadlock plaguing climate talks by making commitments on
emissions cuts and finance.
