On Friday and Saturday, people came out in their thousands for climate marches around the country. The crowds were calling on governments to raise their game as we pass the halfway point of the COP26 climate talks.
And as always, the climate movement’s genius sign-writers were out in force. From terrible puns to hard truths, these marches had it all.
When will we learn?
Parched and lifeless should not be our aspiration
