Socialists march against climate change in London

From a Socialist Party web site:
Members and supporters of International Socialist Resistance, Socialist Students and the Socialist Party formed a very loud and political bloc on a relatively quiet demonstration, attracting many youth to join our chants and our campaigns.

Our chants called for the nationalisation of big business and public services and for fundamental change in how society is run to address the risk posed to the planet. Throughout the demonstration people could be seen reading the ISR and Socialist Students "Our planet not their profit" leaflet.
Update: A related post is here.

Excerpt:
The point that this whole issue has been seized by people with a political and economic agenda that is directly served by it...and that these people are among the loudest supporters should make you somewhat cautious of simply embracing the idea that they just want to stop climate change.
