Almost 40,000 marched in Copenhagen

Almost 40,000 protesters participated yesterday, Saturday in a large demonstration in Copenhagen. The demonstrators gathered at the Danish Parliament to march against the Bella Conference Center where COP15, the climate conference is held. The march went on for almost three hours and took place as a people’s festival. However, the Copenhagen Police arrested almost 1,000 persons because they suspected them to have planned organized violence and vandalism.

The official UN Climate Meeting is making slow progress, whereas several parallel meetings held by NGOs and climate activists are faster to agree on that actions to stop the global climate changes must start now instead of long political debates
