Tens of thousands of people assembled for the People’s Climate March in Washington, with eight cohorts representing different parts of the climate-change movement, marching from the Capitol to the White House.
Hundreds of satellite events were organized across the United States and around the world.
Here’s a compilation of some of the best signs so far from the marches.
Some demonstrators noted the oddity of marching to address, well, reality:
Our #pghclimatemarch gathering the world's #climatemarch! Signs so true. How can it b that #reality is so at risk? #resist@realDonaldTrump
Others took advantage of horizontal space to show what climate change truly means:
In their 1st 100 days Buncombe County NC commission invested $12M in renewable energy. @350 #First100Days#realDonaldTrump #climatemarch
But really, you can do a lot more with a chalkboard than with poster board:
Reunited with the chalkboard! In 2014 we moved it 40 NYC blocks. Today, we're blockading the White House!️ #climatemarch #defendersoftruth
Young and old came out to protest:
It was a friendly crowd:
Building a better world #climatemarch
Although protesters were not fond of EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt:
Some took the opportunity to comment on meteorology…
"It's literally true. Stupidity is the problem." Joe Adams of Baltimore #climatemarch
…or meteorology on other planets and moons:
Ready for the #climatemarch with my #Cassini sign <3
Some calculated the return on investment for reducing climate change:
And marchers expressed support for the Paris climate agreement:
Others unforgettably noted whom they’re really marching for:
Best sign I've seen so far #climatemarch #mepolitics
And there were plenty of funny signs:
But there was one simple sign, held by many, that probably best captured the core message of the march:
Neil Gundel, 57, of Hartford, CT, said of the Trump administration ... "It's almost like a satire." #climatemarch
This video gives a sense of the size of the march:
Check this out: this is one BIG #climatemarch in DC!
