GLASGOW, Nov 6 — Thousands of climate protesters braved torrential rain in Glasgow today to take part in worldwide demonstrations against what campaigners say is a failure of crunch UN talks to bring about the radical action needed to tame global warming.
Demonstrators began gathering on Saturday morning in a park near the COP26 summit venue, chanting: “Our world is under attack, stand up fight back!” Delegates from nearly 200 countries are in Glasgow to hammer out how to meet the Paris Agreement goals of limiting temperature rises to between 1.5 and 2 degrees Celsius.
And a major assessment last week showed global CO2 emissions were set to rebound in 2021 to pre-pandemic levels. About 1,000 people gathered in London outside the Bank of England with placards reading “Less talk more action” and “No More COP outs”.“COP26 has barely started,” tweeted Michael Mann, director of Penn State’s Earth System Science Center.‘Words Not Enough’
“We’re clear that warm words are not good enough -- and that the next week of talks must see a serious ramping up of concrete plans.”
