Crowds gathered in the French capital on Sunday to attend a global march for the climate, despite the ban on gatherings enforced by French authorities. When one of the groups charged a police cordon, tear gas was deployed to push them back.

"Huge amounts" of tear gas were fired at protesters near Place de la Republique in central Paris, according to witnesses’ reports on Twitter, with objects flying in the direction of security forces.

The march, which was set to take place in dozens of cities around the world, was restricted in the French capital falling under the ban on gatherings introduced after the November 13 terrorist attacks in Paris.

So, are these marches to demand faster action on “climate change”, or are they do protest the flaming absurdity of “climate change”? I assume it’s the former because that’s the sort of thing communists do, but the article is not clear.

It’s not about climate. It’s about taking money from countries that produce and giving it to those that make their living by whining about being poor.

I wonder if tear gas contributes to CO2 emissions.

Our Dear Leader plans to donate $3 Billion to “Developing Nations” to combat climate change caused by Humans. The “Developing Countries” are predominately in Africa and Asia. Any guess where that money will end up?

Redistribute wealth, transfer to third world racist dictators, and the weather will improve. Unicorns and Skittles for all.

A Marxists wet dream.

Today’s protests (not just in Paris but around the world) are actually in favor of the climate change conference scheduled to begin tomorrow.

Typical leftists who protest their own events!

Big corporations support ‘climate change’ policy so I guess the leftists are just asking that big business not be allowed into the process as ‘crony capitalists’.

They want ‘climate change’ done the ‘good old fashioned Marxist Leninist way’ with government taking over business outright.

What are the chances that these Global Climate marchers are paid activists ?

How will the French police be able to guard the 30,000-plus conference-goers, including 150 heads of state, if they’re preoccupied with protecting Paris from street mobs?
