Contract and Convergence Petition

There is a .gov.uk site allowing the creation of petitions, these are reviewed listed publicly and can be signed online. There are issues over the validity of any petition and probably greater issues over whether these are ever really taken into account. However for those interested there are a number of environmental issues which have already been listed.

One of which is related to our discussion on the practicalities of contraction and convergence.

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Adopt Carbon Rationing and Contraction and Convergence...."
