NEW YORK - Over three hundred thousand activists walked through Manhattan on Sunday, warning that climate change is destroying the Earth - in stride with demonstrators around the world who urged policymakers to take quick action.
Starting along Central Park West, most came on foot, others with bicycles and walkers, and some even in wheelchairs. Many wore costumes and marched to drumbeats. One woman played the accordion.
But their message was not entertaining: "We're going to lose our planet in the next generation if things continue this way," said Bert Garskof, 81, as a family member pushed his wheelchair through Times Square.
The crowds of marchers, which included actors Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo and Evangeline Lilly, wound through midtown Manhattan, joined along the way by United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, former Vice President Al Gore and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.
In New York organizers said there were around 310,000 marchers, making it possibly the biggest single demonstration on climate change to date.
The march was one of a series of events large and small held around the world - organizers said 40,000 marchers took part in an event in London, while a small gathering in Cairo featured 50-foot art piece representing wind and solar energy - two days before the United Nations Climate Summit. More than 120 world leaders will convene Tuesday for the meeting aimed at galvanizing political will for a new global climate treaty by the end of 2015.

Where are the California Marches On Draught? If marching changes the weather in the universe, why don’t people march for white Christmases, or no snow in April? There could be a It’s Too Damn Hot In the South in August March.
Climate change. Like it ever stayed the same.
So this is what “science” has come down to - a “People’s March”?
Reminds me of Mao’s cultural revolution.
We must act now before it is too late!
This Tiny few want Total Control over everything ,which will end up in a Total Disaster
Yeah. 300, 000 would be freakin and totally noticeable.
It would shut down traffic and would be extremely news worthy, with pics.

Global Warming on Free Republic
Just unreal.
“...organizers said there were around 310,000 marchers...”
And who could doubt organizers.
“What, exactly, do these people propose to do about their perceived problem other than meet and talk with fellow-travellers?”
The more “informed” of the crowd would say something like:
“Why, uh, replace the evil fossil fuels and, uh, other carbon emissions with green, renewables, like uh, wind and solar power...of course! Don’t you flat-earthers care about saving the planet?? Good grief!”
Leonardo DiCaprio saving the environment with his 200 foot yacht.....
Leonardo DiCaprio saving the environment with his private jet.....
Leonardo DiCaprio saving the environment with obviously an electric mini car.....
Leonardo DiCaprio saving the environment with his obviously energy saving multi-room mansion.....Oh excuse me, ONE of his multi-room mansions because obviously a single guy like him with no kids need a bunch of 100 room mansions, obviously to save energy.
Idiots. Rich, ignorant, arrogant, dangerous idiots.
Yuh know, New York has all these high rises and skyscrapers, as well, access to helicopters.
No one took Arial views so we could all be amazed by the massive outpouring of stupidity?
Doesn’t look like 30,000 people showed up.
No one had access to a drone either?
Baloney...
But Leo was at the climate march too, so now we know he is one of the Very Low Intelligence Rich. They are special.

The coming NEW WORLD ORDER needs climate change in order to implement some of their nefarious plans....and since the media has been bought and paid for....most remain clueless as to the outcomes.
But, hey, America elected Obama twice, so it may be too late....to stop the Climate change scam.

That is quite a boat
300,000 “around the globe”
Haha! I was this exact smart*ss liberal when I was younger. Another member of Students for Environmental Action and I went to our local grocery store, and asked to speak to the manager. He invited us in to his office, we harangued him with questions and suggestions about what his store was doing or should be doing to save the environment, and he listened patiently. When we were through, it was his turn:
“There’s more to this than that. Did you guys drive here?”
Smart*ss Two and I looked dumbly at each other, busted.
