More than 20,000 people marched through central London last Saturday demanding urgent action to tackle climate change.

The Time to Act demonstration was called to put climate change at the top of the agenda ahead of the general election in May and the international talks in Paris in December.

The slogans and organisations taking part were diverse.

But many of those marching were clear that stopping greenhouse emissions is possibleand its capitalism that stands in the way.

Jordan, a student at the University of Lincoln told Socialist Worker, The time for debate has passedwe need action.

The government continues to pour resources into fossil fuels.

That needs to be diverted elsewhere now.

It comes down to inequalitythose at the top wont let go of their profits, and thats why were in this mess.

Kim Hunter and John Atkins had travelled down from York. Kim said, We need people on the streets now because all the issues are converging.
