Climate change is the biggest focus of a massive march today, which includes World leaders such as U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon. He is set to join children, fishermen, and farmers in demand for the world's governments to take action where climate change is concerned before it is too late.
The new march is called the People's Climate March, and so far we've come to understand that over 100,000 individuals are expected to take part. The march will be held at midtown Manhattan ahead of the U.N. General Assembly, which will see around 120 world leaders come together to deliberate on the best ways to reduce carbon emission.
Several celebrities will be on hand, which includes musicians, actors, and even scientists in lab coats. It's prestigious event that needs to be taken seriously, because climate change is a real problem that needs to be taken seriously before things go belly up.
"You can't fight climate change sitting on your couch and holding your breath," according to Jamie Henn, spokesman for 350.org, the organization that is behind the march.
The massive march is to transform the changing of the climate to an issue that is not only viewed as an environmental concern, but something that is seen as a concern to every human on this planet. It won't be easy, and it would be very surprising if anything comes from this march because it has been done countless times before in the past.
The rally will be taken place in New York, but it is actually a global protest that consists of 161 countries all around the world. This is probably the largest protest about the effects of global warming in history, so if changes are not implemented in the coming years, then we have surely failed this planet.
One of the main goals of the rally is to force world economies to rely on clean energy. It would be quite expensive to change to something new, but world governments need to consider on what is more important. Is it money, or a home that is fit for human and animal life?
So far, 95 percent of Uruguay and Norway energy is clean, so it is definitely possible to bring changes like these worldwide.
