The event featured key members of the environmental advocacy community, including NASA climate scientist Dr. James Hansen, GRITtv founder Laura Flanders and Mohammed Waheed Hassan, vice president of the Maldives.

Hansen, 70, who in 1998 was the first person to testify before Congress about global warming, warned the crowd of the dangers of inaction.

"Climate change — human-made global warming — is happening," he said. "It is already having noticeable impacts. ... If we stay on with business as usual, the southern U.S. will become almost uninhabitable."
