Thousands of climate activists flooded the streets of Midtown, Manhattan on Sunday, initiating Climate Week ahead of the UN General Assembly in New York City.
Demonstrators held signs saying "End Fossil Fuel Use,""Declare a Climate Emergency" and "I didn't vote for fires and floods." The protesters implored US President Joe Biden and global leaders phase out fossil fuels, emphasizing their role in exacerbating climate change.
President Biden is among the world leaders set to attend the United Nations General Assembly, which is scheduled to formally open on Tuesday.
"We hold the power of the people, the power you need to win this election," said Emma Buretta, 17, of Brooklyn of the youth protest group Fridays for Future. "If you want to win in 2024, if you do not want the blood of my generation to be on your hands, end fossil fuels."
The 75,000 people who marched on Sunday came from about 700 organizations and activist groups and drew people from all spheres.
"We have people all across the world in the streets, showing up, demanding a cessation of what is killing us," US Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told a cheering crowd. "We have to send a message that some of us are going to be living on, on this planet 30, 40, 50 years from now. And we will not take no for an answer."

You don’t understand. They are not the Climate problem. We are the climate problem. We need to be controlled and they are the catalyst for that control.
All across The world? How about Beijng?
From a note I made months ago:
2.4 degrees Celsius (4.3 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century.
Daily temperatures range more than 4 deg F
Seasonal temperatures more. Just going in and out of buildings all year long.
4 degrees? Get over it.
. “We have to send a message that some of us are going to be living on, on this planet 30, 40, 50 years from now. And we will not take no for an answer.”
Yeah but forty years from now someone who isn’t even born yet will be saying that to YOU you old NAZI.
Maroons.
And now AOC said we will be here 30,40 or 50 years out...She said we had only 7 years left...does she know she lied in one of those statements?
Come on, man!...The earth is like a snowflake. Please make a carbon-free note of it. /s
"End all oil production! End plastic production! End research into all medicine except homeopathic remedies! (<== That last one sounds like Himmler!) End production of fertilizers so people will have healthy, natural foods!"
"And end production of evil chemicals that can make bird eggs thin! Oh, yeah. We already did that and when DDT was banned the malaria cases skyrocketed in Africa, but that's OK. The ones that died were mostly negroes, so it's not like any humans were killed. We don't care about those picanannies because it is too hard to get them to vote in our elections and some might even vote Republican simply out of their inherent ignorance and stupidity! And we certainly don't want these disgusting creatures to come to America to invade our wonderful, guarded, gated communities."
I only wish that was true because I am positive that it won’t kill me. I have zero problem with fossil fuels and carbon killing commies.
The article has the photo from comment #1 and a stock photo. Has anybody seen any photos of the protest from above to show they had 75,000 people instead of just 75?
Idiots have no clue about Climate and not afraid to show it ,LOL
The usual Marxist scum.
Well-brainwashed idiots. Permanently brain deformed.
Yup...you can tell by their professionally made signs, T shirts, etc. It is all a theatrical production...wonder how much each gets paid?
Only 7.36 years left - according to the socialist bartender.
Someone will see something they want in a shop window, and it'll be on. Looting burning the lot. And the organizers will say outside agitators and they will be right, though not quite the way they think of outside agitators.
The real issue is whether a peaceful protest is even possible under current NYC conditions, and never mind what the organizers say the issue is.
Also bear in mind, they are marching for more of what the government is already doing.
“Yup...you can tell by their professionally made signs, T shirts, etc. It is all a theatrical production...wonder how much each gets paid?”
You mean like money? No no no, they get paid with extra ballots to mail in come election day.
Illegals take walk for baloney sandwich and Kool-Aid.
