PARIS -- Tens of thousands of people have taken part in rallies around the world on Sunday, calling on leaders to halt climate change on the eve of a major conference in Paris. Because of a state of emergency in France imposed after the Nov. 13 Paris attacks, many of the rallies are taking place outside the country.
But French police and activists clashed in Paris, with riot police firing tear gas to disperse protesters throwing projectiles. Here are some of the rallies that took place on Sunday.
PARIS
Thousands of demonstrators gathered in central Paris and formed a human chain along the route of a long-planned protest march that was banned by France's Socialist government in a security crackdown following the Paris attacks that killed 130 people.
The Paris police chief said that about 100 people were later detained after a protest seeking a global climate deal turned violent in Place de la Republique square. Michel Cadot told reporters that police identified about 200 or 300 people who violated a ban on all protests under the country's state of emergency. Cadot said that about 100 people who were found to have projectiles or other suspicious objects were detained.
Cadot said that demonstrators, some masked, pelted security forces with glass bottles and even candles placed at Place de la Republique to honor victims of the Nov. 13 attacks.
Police fired numerous rounds of tear gas on protesters to disperse them. The protesters were gathering ahead of critical global warming talks outside Paris beginning on Monday.

Was Obama one of them?
Oh what a nice dream. Obama teargassed and tossed into a French jail. Oh well, back to reality...
I don’t trust anybody who isn’t watching football on a Sunday. :)
My 5 cats woke up to another cold and rainy day. They demand a climate change to sunny and 80 degrees and are carrying “Cabin Fever Must Go!” signs around the coffee table.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Exactly..... This reminds me of a superbowl ad a number of years ago. .....The Green Police.
A lot of people thought is was funny, but I knew how prophetic is was.
... demand a commitment from world leaders to halt climate change...
It frightens me to think that so many people have no critical thinking skills.
Hey, hey, ho, ho! Western Civ has cabin fever's got to go!
Tear gas them...
Just snap their fingers, don’t ya know. :)
Its “stop the climate from changing”. Not, “stop the muslims from killing us”, or, “stop the muslims from pouring into our country uninvited”.
“Stop the climate from changing”.
Has ISIS capitulated yet?
When the President has an ego the size of the sun?
They haven't worked out all of the details yet, but they did agree that it would have to be done at night.
Those must be sissy city cats.
Funny!
“Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?”
Too complicated. Simple questions. How do the 97% of scientists who believe global warming is consensus propose to reverse it? How much will it cost? What happens if they overshoot and we go into a global cooling spiral?
Liberals do not understand compare and contrast.
