Saint John part of global call for change on Climate Change

Global climate change is the reason for a candlelight vigil in King Square tomorrow night.


Vigils are being held across the country and around the world to coincide with the UN's Climate Change conference underway in Copenhagen, Denmark.


Organizer Mariel Hunter tells CHSJ news they will be taking a picture of the number "350" using candles because 350 parts per million is how much carbon dioxide is safe to have in the atmosphere.


Hunter says the world is currently hovering near 400 parts per million mark.


The vigil runs from 5 to 6:30pm tomorrow night at Kings Square in Uptown Saint John.
