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.

"Climate change".
These kooks can't even identify a specific change.
Probably about 10 IQ points on display there...
Evil and stupidity combined into one package is a very dangerous combination...
I don’t underestimate the amount of influence folks like this have on the dumbed down product of the “educational” system here in America.
Note that many are women, emotional creatures, while the men? Well, look at the ratio there...some may be “True believers”, but I seriously doubt it.
If there was climate justice they’d be visited by torrential rain.
Has anybody told the unions stooges that all of this “climate change” nonsense is designed to SHUT DOWN UNION INDUSTRIES?!?!?!
If you want to see who the real, brainwashed idiots are in this country, go watch their little parade.
I’m hoping God is not too busy and will cast another Gore Effect mockery at these morons.
I usually find stupid signs held up by the uninformed humorous, but is that one about climate, or abolishing prisons? Do the two smiling loons know?
Doing their part to prevent the release of methane into the atmosphere.
Really? My climate is just fine today. It has changed - it was fifty when I got up this morning, rose to the high 70s, and is now cooling again.
I don’t know but the one in black is apparently protesting the big razor barrons.
Son, there a lot of bad people in the world that want to hurt you. Take this gun and shoot them before they break your momma’s heart.
I guess I must not know what “warming” means-the last couple of summers here have been cooler than “normal”-whatever that is-it only got to 100 a few days in July and August-now, the days are already in the mid 80’s, nights in the 60’s and that doesn’t usually happen until mid-October...
The eco-nuts are on parade. What fools! I wonder how many are on some sort of welfare or “assistance”? This allows them to sit around with each other, stewing their crazed ideas. THEY should be protested as devolvers of civilization.
I always wonder about a church, The Prospect First Congregation Christian Church, that instead of having a Sunday Service, they we be taking part in this march in Seattle.
We had a very cool summer here and only a couple of days that managed to touch on 90 degrees. Of course, there was ice on the great lakes into June.
