It would be really helpful if you could write to a member of the House of Lords
asking them to vote for amendments strengthening the Climate Change Bill.
Please see the email from Friends of the Earth below. The bill will become the
world’s first law requiring a national government to make specified carbon
emissions cuts. This will help campaigners abroad to put pressure on their
governments to follow Britain's example. This in turn could lead to a much
stronger successor to Kyoto, and thus reduce the devastation which extreme
weather will otherwise inflict with increasing frequency. If you can write to a
Lord, please do so in time for your letter to reach them by 26-27 November, when
the bill will have its second reading in the Lords.

We are optimistic that amendments to strengthen the bill will succeed because
two-thirds of MPs backed an Early Day Motion calling for a bill along such
lines. If the Lords pass such amendments this will help Labour MPs to resist
the party whips, and vote for the amendments when the Bill moves to the Commons
afterwards.

Thank you very much

Tim

HELP US LOBBY THE LORDS

We have just heard that the Government has made the unusual move of
deciding to send the Climate Change Bill to the House of Lords before
the House of Commons.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

We need to act fast and start talking to Lords over the next few
weeks. We would like your help so please write a letter to a Lord.
Check out the attached Climate Champions action guide for more
information and what to
say:

What about MPs?
MPs will debate the Bill after the Lords, in early 2008. Your letters and visits
to MPs have been vital, helping to engage and inform more MPs on this issue.
Thank you. If you have any more feedback do let us know.

Thank you
