Climate protesters in New York and across the globe send message to United Nations
Joe Biden and world leaders to end fossil fuel use.
With parades, concerts, and banging drums, some of the 15,000 expected waved signs that read «End Fossil Fuel Use» and "Fossil Fuels Kill" and «Declare a Climate Emergency.»
One man was dressed as a melting snowman warning of rising sea levels. The message was for world leaders to save the planet from the use of oil and gas believed to be driving a warming globe.
Sunday's protests were part of a week-long international effort by Climate Group, a non-profit whose purpose is to drive climate change action and stop global warming, with more than 500 protests planned in the US, Germany, England, South Korea, India and elsewhere, totaling 54 countries.
Organizers of the protests expect a global turnout of more than a million people.
«Climate Week NYC is all about getting it done,» organizers wrote online.
