Thousands march in Brussels to demand tougher climate action
The Associated Press ^ | October 10, 2021

BRUSSELS (AP) — Thousands of people young and old marched through Brussels on Sunday to push world leaders to take bolder action to fight climate change at the U.N. climate summit in Glasgow starting this month.

Some 80 organizations took part in the protest, aiming for the biggest such event in the European Union’s capital since the start of the coronavirus crisis, which stopped the climate movement’s weekly marches in its tracks.

Cyclists, families with children, and white-haired demonstrators filled city streets, chanting slogans demanding climate justice and waving banners in English, French and Dutch. One carried a stuffed polar bear on her head.

Environmentalists worry that the 26th Climate Change Conference of the Parties, known as the COP26, in Glasgow starting Oct. 31 will produce policies that don’t do enough to slash carbon emissions and slow the warming of the planet.

Be careful what they wish for. They will need extra mittens this winter. Europe is in for a heating fuel shortage.

Thousand march in Brussels to demand climate action"

Well, that's interesting.

People who marched for "integration" know what they wanted to be done. Laws to be changed, customs to be banished, etc.

People who marched to "end the Vietnam war" also had general ideas about what they wanted to be done.

What do people who go out to march for "climate action" want to be done?

Take names from facial recognition and allow those ID’d to participate in lowering elec consumption, gasoline consumption, travel limits etc........... I mean IF they really care they should have no problem. Send them a thank you letter for helping and maybe a participation trophy made from recycled plastic. They don’t mind screaming but they sure as hell won’t want to sacrifice THEIR comfort.
