BRUSSELS - Thousands of people holding hands formed a human chain in central Brussels on Sunday to draw public attention to the need for urgent, joint action against climate change. Some 2,400 people took part in the peaceful demonstration, police said, which encircled the Belgian federal parliament and the Royal Palace.

The two-hour demonstration took place as policy-makers from around the world gather in Madrid for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. “The main purpose is to ask for more climate ambition and for the federal government to tackle the climate crisis,” said Julie Van Houtryve, spokeswoman for one of the organizers, Climate Coalition in Belgium. “We need solidarity and cooperation between governments and politicians in Belgium.”

So many misinformed zealots

Maybe they should think first about stop using that plastic and rubber they wear and carry around... then they should give up their motor vehicles and bike around... when they all get to that point, I will take them seriously... till then... they should talk to a doctor

Go to China. They just unveiled more coal plants than all of Europe. China GHG 30%, USA GHG 15% and Canada GHG 1.6%

All of them wearing plastic/petroleum based clothing. Learn to swim bitches... I'm not being an intentional ass but until we change our lifestyle (don't buy orange juice or sushi in Brussels, sorry) and stop demanding someone else 'fix it' it's pointless.

Please don't change this wonderful climate we enjoy, with the highest quality of life in humanities existence...

Here is what they need to do: stop driving, flying, eating out, having children. Once that happens then we can believe in there protest.

Did they not notice how fucking cold it is? Why are they all wearing coats and sweaters if it is too hot outside? Did none of these people go to school where they learned that the Vikings used to have settlements on Greenland where they farmed? The Vikings did not have SUVs btw.

This crowed was organised my friend is among they are paid approximately $500 each .....pls be informed there is nothing like climate change is the biggest scam of the century use to steal money from stupid believers..only the wise can see it..

They’ve decide to annoy the carbon out of the atmosphere I see.

What? Any suggestions!!! Do something means nothing!!!

I think there needs to be a concerted effort in searching for and developing alternatives for construction and packaging

George sores is leading the way .

How about more bridges ?

Hoe zijn ze daar gekomen en hoe gaan ze terug. Op autopeds?

Try getting a job, having a wash. Or picking up litter. You are making yourselves look ridiculous and needy.

They STILL don't realise it's a hoax? 🙄🧐

Idiots!!

“Against” climate change. That’s really dumb. The climate changes. Only Super Villains want to control the climate.

[Pro 16:25 KJV] 25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof [are] the ways of death.

Holding hands isn’t gonna solve anything. Try picking up litter if you really have nothing better to do with your time. Eco warriors with too much time on their hands. ClimateChange

Idiots

Did you report the thousands demonstrating in Parliament Square, London against the huge rise in antisemitism - particularly in The Labour Party under jeremycorbyn ? No? I thought not...

Only China can save the Earth. They are not bound by big business.

Good luck ,the E.U Parliament are only interested in the money they pay themselves all those trips and tips

I am surprised so many Europeans in Brussels 🤣🤣🤣where is real faces of modern EU are they concerns too?

😂

👏👏👏

Totaly mad

Research GeoEngineering and see that these Socialist/Communist/Marxist=Totalitarians are trying to do...... Agenda21 NewWorldOrder Lexit Blexit WalkAway

If they really cared about the environment, then they would be out planting trees, instead of shucking and jiving until someone photographs them. Clown show.

Go home plant a tree do something positive. Get rid of anything that uses energy that's a good start then we would start to stop digging the earths valuable resources

They should be more concerned about migrants overrunning them.

Climate change is a lie.

😴

Hope they used recycled materials and chemical free markers to make their signs

pa zaščitite te BOŽIČNE JELKE po vaši državi

Wow! Now all is solved!

Belgium is lost. RIP.

Fantasy - Reality?

and I’m sure they were all carrying their plastic disposable bottles of water !!!

If they’ve farted, have anything out of wood, drive a car, or had children, they shouldn’t be allowed...

Masterly inactivity.

Remembrance Lake: In Japan, an intimate reminder of climate change.Shinto priests at Japan’s Lake Suwa have been observing a mythic ice phenomenon since the 1400s. Now, the ice is getting ever thinner and the lake is slowly vanishing from the everyday lives of the people who surround it Now that is profound. So it wasn’t man made climate change after all. It was a six hundred year old mystical phenomenon instead. Crisis over! A sad but sweet story. I wonder if the priest's leaf blower was gas powered. Yeah Japan priests were good observers. The climate is always changing. So did their observations effect future climates(ie observing quantum particles)? Or was it their consumption of rice cakes & chicken farts?
