Around 25,000 people took part in I Count, largest climate march in British history today (5/11/06), demanding urgent action on climate change.

Protestors carrying banners with the slogan "climate change hits the poorest hardest" and "George Bush wanted for crimes against the planet", converged on Trafalgar Square as the rock band Razorlight performed.

The most comprehensive review ever carried out on the economics of climate change was published today.
