On Sunday, climate activists took to the streets in New York, the day before the climate summit in Paris, and demanded a fight against global warming.
About 5,000 people protested and marched outside New York's City Hall, organizers said.
"The climate is changing. It's our fault, and we have to get to work on this now,” said Bill Nye, the science educator known as the “Science Guy.” Nye went on to say that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has nearly doubled since the advent of the steam engine.
“The most important greenhouse gas has almost doubled in less than two centuries,” he said. “As long as we each focus only on our individual decisions and their short-term consequences, we will act like renters, not owners of this Earth.”
