The Global Climate Movement is here!

Today has shown us one thing, as reports, photos, and videos stream in from around the world, that the global climate movement we have been waiting for is here and ready to demand action from world leaders. We didn't expect this kind of a response, as two weeks ago, we were expecting a fairly modest (We thought it was big at the time!) turnout of a couple hundred events in a few dozen countries.
