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.

Even if they got a million nitwits to say “the climate is changing”, what would that mean?
Why, when the millionth idiot arrives, the climate freezes and stops changing, ever. Of course that means no one can move again for fear of causing a bit of wind that could become a hurricane eventually.
You know what is funny? I can predict a cold winter this time too, because here in SoCal the Canadian geese have been here for almost a month. The only time they flew down here this early was, yep, last year.
Stealing....
Fear mongering and hysteria. The Green Menace is a fraud.
Their Green Baiting tactics won’t work anymore. They don’t have the facts on their side.
Send in the clowns.
Two weeks ago, in the Summer, we got 3 days of snow, 23”. Today it was 72F; tomorrow and Wednesday, early Fall, it will hit 80F. Is this ‘climate change’? No! It is called living on the Easterly side of the Rockies! If any of these protesting fools ever came to Calgary, their heads would explode!
DING DING DING! We have a winner! Seen this?
It’s the Blaze, but it was linked from elsewhere, probably Drudge. This “march” (LOL It looks more like a parade. They even had clowns!) It wasn’t about anything but pushing communism. Again. As usual.
ohioman, That is excellent- & perfectly true. I’ll bet we could add to that list.
Copied & saved. Thank you!
(((YAWN)))
Oh no! Not the bell!
Now that’s not even playing fair with those horrible deniers.
I was probably supposed to turn on my lights in support. I forgot.
That is the breed in your picture. I raised Clun Forest and Texel's.
” wind and solar energy “ projects have NEVER BEEN PROFITABLE !

You are simply using the wrong measurement tool.
Dinner, jackets and boots.
Awesome....
other than being a hell of a party, this was a total waste of humanity...of course there is global warming, I read somewhere that other planets in our solar system also experienced a certain amount of temperature increase. Mankind has virtually nothing to do with it. Environmentalists are the new communists...the U.S. and a few other developed countries are solely responsible for all this evil and should, therefore spend a few trillion dollars to remedy it....pathetic.
“Might”....make more sense. ..
That would present some real problems, particularly if we couldn't find it again.
300,000.....what kind of a minor gathering is that......Indianapolis gets a bigger crowd that that EVERY YEAR for a car race....
They’re lucky it didn’t snow on them.
