CLIMATE campaigners hosted a stall in Dorchester urging voters to convince politicians to do more to tackle climate change.

On Saturday morning (27 April), volunteers with the Climate Vote campaign took their stall to South Street in Dorchester.

Over several hours they handed out posters and leaflets and spoke to passers-by about their worries over climate change.

The campaign, which is running in the lead-up to the general election, aims to convince all political parties to do more to prevent a "climate catastrophe".

Volunteer, Philip Browne, said: "Climate change is happening more quickly than experts originally thought but I fear many politicians haven’t grasped this fact.

"We want to show them that voters fear climate change will affect their children’s future.

"If politicians want our votes in the General Election, they must show more commitment and urgency in tackling it."
