After months of planning, the People’s Climate March began rolling through a large swath of Midtown Manhattan on Sunday, taking public frustration over stalled efforts to curb carbon emissions to the streets in a noisy, vivid display of unity.
At 11:30 a.m., the march began moving east along 59th Street from Columbus Circle, proceeding along a circuitous, two-mile route, and drawing labor and immigrant groups, students and politicians, scientists and religious leaders. The march will turn south on Avenue of the Americas, head west on 42nd Street to 11th Avenue and finish at 34th Street.
The protest comes two days before a climate summit at the United Nations, which will be attended by President Obama. The meeting is expected to create a framework for a potential global agreement on emissions late next year in Paris.

Last week, meteorologists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that this summer — the months of June, July and August — was the hottest on record for the globe, and that 2014 was on track to break the record for the hottest year, set in 2010.

“Climate change is no longer an environmental issue; it’s an everybody issue,” Sam Barratt, a campaign director for the online advocacy group Avaaz, which helped plan the march, said on Friday.

BARMAN You really think the world's going to end?

Shouldn't we lie down or put a bag over our heads or something?
FORD: If you want.
BARMAN Will it help?
FORD Not really.

People who live in cities with concrete horizons don’t see the natural world-the words “June” and “ice” together are meaningless to them.
I wish one of the big dude ranches out here would invite a bunch of those people to stay in the guest cabins there for a week, no TV, no cell phone, eat fresh food in the communal dining room, and go on mandatory nature hikes with a guide. They would either end up knowing they were ignorant, or have a complete emotional breakdown...
Really. It will.
Yeah my urban cousins all think wilderness is where the grass is ankle high.
Nice lake. You fish there? What kind of finned creatures does it contain?
Bass, pike, bluegills, perch, the usuals.

She’s a bush hippie.
Who is organizing it?
The march and numerous actions later in the week were planned by The Climate Group, a prominent international nonprofit, in collaboration with numerous environmental groups and over fifty unions. SEIU 1199, 32BJ, District Council 37, TWU 100, and the IBEW 3 are some of the New York locals sponsoring the march.
Who is funding it?
While unions have promised to play a major role in facilitating the march, much of Climate Week NYC’s funding — which has allowed for a mass subway advertising campaign — has come from myriad corporate sponsors, including platinum sponsor Lockheed Martin, gold sponsor BMW, and “clean revolution partners” like IKEA and the World Bank.
Where do I find my comrades?
