More than 35,000 people from across the United States of American rallied through the streets of Washington, marching past the White House, calling for President Obama to take immediate action on climate change. Most were also urging the government to block the construction of the oil pipeline known as Keystone XL. The ‘Forward on Climate’ Rally comes after Obama’s promise to act on climate change in his State of the Union Address, where he gave Congress an ultimatum: “if lawmakers don’t act, I will”.
