Just to note, the slant here is a bit overdone. Two examples:

"I would say, 80 percent within the next ten years or so" -Dr Andrew Glikson
"The world must cut carbon emissions by 80% by 2020 to avert catastrophe" - opening line (not directly quoted from Glikson, though credited to him)

"the Australian government’s plans to cut emissions by five-to-15 per cent by the year 2020"
"However climate criminal Australia has offered a derisory “5% off 2000 GHG pollution by 2020”

80% by 2020 may be right, but altering quotes and facts to make the point more extreme hardly helps the argument.

It is critically important that the run up to Copenhagen in December is marked with concerted pressure on governments to commit to real progress in climate change policy. We know that politically cowardly governments are unlikely to act unless they feel that electorates will support them, and thus local activism is all the more important to demonstrate public desire.
Climate Rush are a dedicated and rapidly growing group who aim to awaken the minds of the public to the fast advancing dangers of climate change. By demonstrating the positive action we can all take, locally and globally, they are motivating people to join them in this urgent campaign. Climate Rush target climate change in the same way that the Suffragettes tackled women’s rights – by taking creative and covert direct action.
During September they will be launching a roadshow through South West England, with several horses and carts equipped with solar panelling and wind turbines. The roadshow will amuse, galvanise and stimulate debate in the local area and highlight best and worst practice amongst institutions in the region.
