climate-march-nycMore than 300,000 people joined in the People’s Climate March in New York City, as organizers to claim it as the largest march for climate change on record. People from all over the continent and from a diverse array of backgrounds gathered at the Museum of Natural History for the start of the march, with over 500 buses carrying people from South Carolina, Kansas, Minnesota and Canada. A group of marchers from California came via a “climate train.”

There were also a number of political and entertainment figures in the march, including: UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, former Vice President Al Gore, New York Senator Chuck Schumer, and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

The march was timed with the UN summit this week, which is expected to set a strategy for dealing with international climate change.

Following the march, a number of protestors planned to stage a massive sit-in on Wall Street on Monday morning, as part of the Flood Wall Street movement, to draw attention to the fact that rising sea levels could inundate lower Manhattan. That protest is illegal, making arrests likely.

“The 99 percent, if you will, of people are not in power,” said lay leader Beth Ackerman. “They might not have power, they might not have money, but they have a voice. But they won’t have a strong voice unless massive amounts of them get together.” Read more at MSNBC.

  1. That’s why Obama got elected and re-elected: carefully staged (and financed) artificial protests with uninformed and naive people out for an exciting time. Seasons change; weather changes; mankind has little influence. G-d rules the world completely.

  2. Hashem rules the world He has everything in control ,nebech these people they dont have what to do with their time, let them go bake cookies or find jobs

  3. 300 million people in America, but only 300 thousand show up for a climate change rally. 8 million people in Israel and one million show up for Chacham Ovadiah zatzal’s levaya. Glad to see Am Yisrael still has its priorities straight.
    Hashem runs the world. He created it and He can chas v’shalom destroy it and all the curly light bulbs and all the Al Gores are not going to help one bit if He chooses to do so.
