10:10 THE STORY SO FAR
Franny Armstrong, director of The Age Of Stupid, comes up with the idea of 10:10 while strolling through Regents Park, London, en route to a debate with the then UK Climate and Energy Secretary Ed Miliband. The recent Climate Safety Report had identified a 10% cut by the end of 2010 as the kind of target we should be aiming for to maximise our chances of avoiding a climate catastrophe.

Thousands take emission cut vows in cathedral of modern art
Technology
Scientists urge investment in geoengineering as safety net Alok Jha Green technology correspondent Experiments on giant sunshades for the Earth and vast forests of artificial trees must be set up immediately to ensure such mega-engineering plans are a safety net in case global talks to combat climate change fail, claims the Royal Society. Scientists who spent a year assessing geoengineering technologies – planetscale interventions that attempt to counteract global warming – have concluded that immediate investment is required. “Unless the world community can do better at cutting emissions, we fear we will need additional techniques such as geoengineering to avoid very dangerous climate change in the future,” said John Shepherd of the University of Southampton, who chaired the Royal Society geoengineering report. The report, Geoengineering the climate: science, governance and uncertainty, which was published yesterday, says some approaches, such as the capture of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through the use of synthetic “trees”, or the shooting of tiny particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect away sunlight, looked promising, but that all geoengineering techniques carried uncertainties regarding their own environmental impacts. The Royal Society considered two main categories of the technology. One involves reflecting a small amount, around 2%, of the solar radiation that reaches the Earth, thus preventing the planet from warming up. The other category involves removing greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. “CO2 removal methods are preferable because removing greenhouse gases from
Tate’s former power station provides apt backdrop for millions of tiny pledges Patrick Barkham
Which of these statements most closely resembles your own view?
As a cathedral to the concept of cutting emissions, Tate Modern in London could not be bettered. Where four vast oil-fired generators once churned out greenhouse gases, thousands of people yesterday pledged millions of tiny gestures to collectively cut carbon emissions. Holding a flurry of personal pledges on pink card, families, celebrities and businesses celebrated the launch of the 10:10 campaign by promising to “turn my heating down”, “fly less”, “love jumpers”, “eat less cheese” and “learn to ride a bike”. The grassroots campaign, in which individuals and institutions make a personal vow to cut their carbon emissions by 10% in 2010, in a first step to try to stop runaway climate change, attracted 5,000 signatures in the hours following its launch. The number of people altering their lives in small ways was far higher, however, as large organisations such as Guy’s and St Thomas’ hospitals, with 10,000 employees and vast buildings, joined celebrities including the music producer Mark Ronson and Stella McCartney signing up to the campaign on its first day. It was not just Tate Modern’s past as Bankside power station that made it a particularly symbolic place to begin tackling our excessive carbon emissions. The sign-up and free concert from Stornoway, and Reverend and the Makers, was on the Thames tidal flood plain and would almost certainly be inundated by the close of the century under projections for sea level rise unless the Thames Barrier were massively reinforced. The spirit of the mass sign-up was not one of doom and gloom, however. There was cheery determination about the ingenious ways people were not just going to cut their carbon emissions but improve the quality of their lives. Catharine Dooley, a learning support assistant from south London, said she had dug up her patio and started a vegetable garden and would be trying to walk more. Zach Scott-Grey, 12, and his sister, Yasmin, 11, pledged to eat less junk food and more organic, local produce. “It’s going to be a major challenge,” said their dad, Chris Scott-Grey. He plans to cut down on his petrol by driving them about less. Many people spoke of hoping to persuade friends, neighbours and their employers to join the campaign. Anna Post, a mother from Battersea, south London, hoped to persuade her church to sign up. She compared the issue of combating global warming to the slave trade; like tackling climate change, it was feared that the abolition of the slave trade would ruin the US economy. “Now it wouldn’t occur to us to have a slave trade. I’ve always thought wasting things is a moral issue, not just an economic issue. It’s immoral to be wasteful and the church really has a role to play,” she said.

As writer Sarah Waters, the artists Cornelia Parker and Anthony Gormley joined the sign-up, the discussion among public figures was the pressing challenge of scaling back excessive air travel. “I’d be quite pleased because I loath travel,” said Mike Figgis, the film director. “I could say, ‘I’m sorry, I’ve got to the end of my quota and I can’t come’ when I am asked to another pointless business meeting in America.” The artist Bob and Roberta Smith had turned down an invite to the premiere of a show he put on in South Korea to make the 10:10 pledge instead. He said other artists could follow the lead: he designed his artwork but had it built on site in Seoul to his instructions and so did not even visit the country to install the work. “The international art world does not need to fly about. All these biennials don’t need to happen. We can all look at it on the net.” He said 10:10 was an “important political movement” and called for political action to enforce compliance with a 10% emissions cut. “A night in the cells would be good for people who own a 4x4.” More significant than celebrity travel plans were the institutions and businesses committing to a 10% cut at the mass signup. Islington council, in north London, is planning free showings in the borough of The Age of Stupid, the climate-change drama documentary created by 10:10 organiser Franny Armstrong. “We have to do it together, residents and the council,” said Greg Foxsmith, a councillor. As an open letter was sent out to all 1.3 million staff in the NHS, the biggest employer in Europe, Patrick Geoghegan, chief executive of South Essex Partnership University Foundation Trust, said all health trusts and hospitals should join them in signing up to 10:10. “Health should sign up to this. If we’re looking after people we’ve got to look after the environment because it impacts on people’s health. It’s complimentary to what we are trying to do in the NHS.” Performing to a crowd that grew as the evening went on, Jon McClure, the lead singer of Reverend and the Makers, said: “I hope you all get on with your 10% cut, I’ll buy you a pint if you get to 20%.” Despite criticism over the lack of leadership from politicians on tackling climate change, the Liberal Democrat climate change spokesman, Simon Hughes, turned up and said he hoped to persuade his party to commit all Lib Dem councils, members and the party as a whole to a 10% cut in 2010. Ken Livingstone, the former mayor of London, said the person he most hoped would sign up was not his successor, Boris Johnson, but Gordon Brown. “The Labour government has said everything correctly internationally going right back to Kyoto.

The amount Royal Society scientists believe should be spent yearly in the UK on research into technical solutions to global warming
the atmosphere addresses the problem at its root and is returning the earth’s climate system closer to its natural state,” said Shepherd. But he said there was a lack of crucial experimental data. “We need to initiate research so we can understand the intended and unintended consequences of these methods so that, if we ever do need to deploy them, we can do so in a sensible and effective way.” The report calls for about £10m a year to be spent in the UK as part of a global £100m fund. “That’s about 10 times what is being spent now and about 10 times less than what we spend on climate change research. And it’s only 1% of what we spend on new energy technology.” Ken Caldeira, a climate scientist at the Carnegie Institution, in California, said this early-stage research had to be carried out as soon as possible. “The worst situation is to not test the options and then face a climate emergency and then be faced with deploying an untested option, a parachute that you’ve never tested out as the plane’s crashing.” Among the most promising technologies identified by the Royal Society were techniques to suck CO2 directly out of the atmosphere. The frontrunner was a design by Klaus Lackner, of Columbia University, in New York. His artificial trees were not yet costeffective to produce but, Shepherd said, it was probably “just a matter of time”. The Royal Society said that shooting sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere would also work well, as previous volcanic eruptions had shown: when Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted in 1991 global temperatures dropped by 0.5C the following year. The costs would be relatively low but the scientists were concerned about potential adverse effects, in particular the destruction of the ozone layer. Doug Parr, chief scientist at Greenpeace UK, said: “Geoengineering is creeping on to the agenda because governments seem incapable of standing up to the vested interests of the fossil fuel lobby, who will use the idea to undermine the emissions reductions we can do safely. Intervening in our planet’s systems carries huge risks, with winners and losers, and if we can’t deliver political action on clean energy and efficiency then consensus on geoengineering is a fantasy.”

LIGHTER LATER
Everybody loves the sun. But every year we set our clocks so that we get less of it in our lives, sleeping through the sunlit mornings while we use expensive, polluting electric lights to keep out the dark nights. LIGHTER LATER is a campaign to brighten all of our days, by changing the clocks so we are awake when the sun is out. It's also the best proof yet of 10:10's bright idea - that cutting carbon and making life better can and should go hand in hand.

click to visit At the end of March, as the UK entered British Summer Time, 10:10 launched its Lighter Later campaign. The premise was simple and incredibly common-sense: by moving the clocks forward by one hour to GMT+2 in summer and GMT+1 in winter we could make the most of our daylight hours, rather than the current system, under which hours of daylight are wasted early in the mornings when most of us are still asleep.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE AN HOUR MAKES...
HOME THE ISSUE TAKE ACTION HISTORY SUPPORTERS ABOUT 10:10 FAQ
Within less than two months more than 11,000 people had signed a letter to prime minister David Cameron, which will be delivered to 10 Downing Street on June 21, the summer solstice, and the day on which most precious daylight is wasted (at the height of summer it gets light at around 4.30am!). The letter explained the very clear benefits of Lighter Later: a reduction in the UK’s carbon emissions of 500,000 tonnes during winter alone, in addition to a fall in road deaths (around 100 a year), and a boost to the tourism and leisure industries of around £3billion annually. On the same day, Dr Elizabeth Garnsey of Cambridge University will present a new piece of peer-reviewed research to a gathering of MPs and lords at the Houses of Parliament. Meanwhile, Adrian Sanders MP has tabled an Early Day Motion asking MPs to support Lighter Later’s suggestions.

Lighter Later is just another example of 10:10’s ethos: that carbon reduction makes people happier and healthier.

In its former life as passenger jet, G-BDXH made headlines in 1982 when, having flown through a cloud of volcanic dust in West Java, all four of its engines failed. Some quick thinking by captain Eric Moody saved the lives of the plane’s passengers, and some 25 years later the plane was retired from service.

More than 5,000 tags have been sold to date. In recent months the tag and its amazing history has been documented on BBC news, has been sported by a gaggle of celebrities, and has even made it onto BBC soap opera The Cut!
