NEW YORK (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Ben Davis' father spent his career ...
NEW YORK - Ben Davis’ father spent his career working at a petroleum company. But on Friday, Davis - a chemical engineer, like his dad - did something he’d never done before.
Friday’s marches, in cities from New York to London and Johannesburg to New Delhi, had been expected to be the largest climate change protests yet, spurred partly by adding adults to the past year’s mainly youth-led mobilizations. New York City officials estimated that 60,000 people marched there. Steel workers, nurses and other unionized employees joined the Manhattan protest, already swelled after city authorities let children miss school without penalty Friday.
“I feel like protest is the only way to have an outlet for the anxiety around this issue,” said Flood, who carried a sign reading, “Sorry we’re closed due to climate crisis”. He had once had faith a transition to clean energy - a crucial part of limiting climate change - was well underway in the United States.
“In the last year the natural disasters have really picked up, from fires to hurricanes,” she said. But “there’s still a disconnect. People should be paying attention but they’re not.”
