An International Day of Climate Action was set for October
24, 2009. People in 181 countries came together for the most
widespread day of environmental action in the planet's
history. In over 5200 events around the woeld. people
gathered to call for strong action and bold leadership on
the climate crisis. Here is the description from
http://www.350.org/plan
We're calling on people around the world to organize an
action on October 24 incorporating the number 350 at an
iconic place in their community, and then upload a photo of
their event to 350.org website.
We'll collect these images from around the world and, with
your help, deliver them to the media and world leaders.
Together, we can show our world and it's decision-makers
just how big, beautiful, and unified the climate movement
really is.
To help you take part in October 24's international day of
climate action, we are:
* Lifting public awareness on the need for an
international climate treaty to reach 350
* Assembling a coalition of hundreds of organizations
committed to this vision of a more sustainable world
* Connecting you with others in your community and
across the planet who are building this movement
* Providing on-line resources and tools that make
pulling together an event easy
* Linking your October 24 event with hundreds of other
actions at iconic places around the world
* Leveraging the day of action for meaningful political
change
This event is in a series of peace and world healing days,
and was set as a formal event, using the whole 24 hour GMT
day. The result was Chisquare 86307.919 on 86400 df for p =
0.587 and Z = -0.220.
It is important to keep in mind that we have only a tiny
statistical
effect, so that it is always hard to distinguish signal from
noise. This means that every "success" might be largely
driven by chance, and every "null" might include a real
signal overwhelmed by noise. In the long run, a real effect
can
be identified only by patiently accumulating replications of
similar analyses.
