Thousands march in Glasgow for climate action

They want more from world leaders and negotiators at the Cop26 conference, who have so far failed to nail down commitments sufficient to prevent catastrophic warming of the planet.

In Glasgow organisers say over 100,000 people took to the streets.

Our Scotland Correspondent Ciaran Jenkins was there.

Cole is spot on. The incentives in capitalism have no answer to medium and long term environmental destruction and grotesque inequality. We must roll back the power of capital if we are to deal with this emergency.

Good luck to them, but 30 years of inaction by governments and corporations, don't give me hope.

It won't amount to anything. It's been an exercise in making deals that look nice but kick the can down the road. I remember when the EU decided to reduce their e-waste. They bundled used computers for sale into containers along with electronic garbage. This was so that it could be disposed of through slight of hand.

The Corporations get their power from your purchases. By not giving the Corporations your money, you cancel their power over you.
Stop fueling the Corporations with your mindless consumption of their products.
These Corporations have gotten so rich that they have bought and own most (if not all) governments.
Be a Human, not a Consumer...

China and Russia that are lagely responsible for climate chages didn't attend. UK and EU emitted CO2 during industrial revolution and now US, Asia(China, India, Japan, Korea), Russia emit this ingredient recently.
My country Korea also has responsibilities for entertainment devastation. The country'e CO2 emission ranks 8th. This is quitely higher than Europe countries such as UK and France. China, US, India and so on, which have big responsibiliy, have to find right ways to solve problems.

There is a white paint that reflects 98% of the sun's heat. Funny they do not protest the lack of use of that paint .
