Wisconsin weekend vigils push for real climate deal
There's a global mobilization planned for this weekend -- right in the middle of the United Nations climate change conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.
There were big rallies on Saturday in many cities around the globe, and on Sunday communities of faith the world over will ring church bells, beat drums, blow horns -- all 350 times, to symbolize the 350 parts per million safe limit for atmospheric carbon dioxide, to avoid catastrophic climate change. Wisconsin events include a "Sounds of 350" event Sunday in Oshkosh. Full list of actions in Wisconsin below:
- Milwaukee candlelight vigil, 6 pm Dec.11, Brady & Humboldt
