Thousands of climate change activists hold boisterous protest march in Brussels with serious message

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) — Thousands of people have marched through the center of Brussels in a boisterous rally highlighting the dangers of climate change, as the COP28 climate summit draws to an end in the United Arab Emirates. “We must save our planet. It’s the only one where there’s beer,” read one sign at the head of the parade, led by a brass band. But the message of the Great Climate March was serious: Act now to stop the world from destroying itself. The activists of Climate Coalition called for politicians to put in place stronger measures to counter global warming.
