Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has become the latest high profile star to join the Big Ask virtual march.

As previously reported, the march is part of Friends Of The Earth’s campaign to try and force the Government to pass a stronger climate change law. Current members to the online petition include Razorlight’s Johnny Borrell and The Holloways.

In Yorke’s campaign video he urges people to sign up to the campaign in order “to remind Gordon Brown that he's committed to a bill to reduce our CO2 emissions double quick time. And if he doesn't we're going to come down on him like a ton of bricks."

Anyone can sign up to the unique petition using a mobile phone clip which can then be uploaded onto video sharing site youtube.

Director of Friends Of The Earth, Tony Juniper, said earlier this month: “Friends of the Earth’s online march is a unique and fun way for people to call for action on climate change. Our survey shows that the vast majority of young people have never contacted their MP. But most want the Government to ensure that carbon dioxide emissions are cut every year.”

  • everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of climate change, (mostly the powers that be,)so they can charge us for it, one way or another,yes, ice is melting in greenland,and I also understand things are changing, but I don’t think we are to blame for it all, as we are being led to believe,it is GENERAL EVALUTION, which is something we have no power to stop, so all this rabbiting on, to cut this, and cut that, is a load of popycock. but it won’t stop untill they find a different word to c

  • cass - the world hets up and cools down, there is a gradual cycle, What we’re scared of (and this is pretty much a proven fact) that were coming to a high point of the cycle, but our contribution is going to push it over the edge and get the climate to an unnatural degree. Which is why we need strict laws so we dont fuck it all up. Thom yorke is not a bandwagon jumper, he just cares about the climate and has done for a very long time now.
