A climate emergency everywhere else

While the powers-that-be of Hornsby Shire Council saw little evidence of a climate crisis the other night (see here:  Hornsby Council fail ), much of the rest of the world turned out in the streets yesterday because of it. In Sydney 80,000 of us gathered at the Domain. It was primarily a schoolkids' strike, but us grownups were very much invited too.

I was with the group that assembled in Milsons Point and marched over the Bridge. At the Domain we were joined by thousands more coming in from all directions.

 These occasions are always inspiring, colourful, and photogenic. No need to listen to the passionate speeches (inaudible actually), because I could just wander around taking hundreds of pictures. The placards tell the story. Click on the photos to enlarge them.
