Protesters skied, carried mock coffins and wore windmills on their heads at demonstrations staged around the world on Saturday that were designed to draw attention to climate change.

Rallies were held in more than 50 cities worldwide, including Vancouver, Ottawa, Halifax and Moncton. Environmental organizations around the world staged the Global Day of Action to coincide with the two-week UN Climate Change Conference, which runs until Friday in Bali, Indonesia.

"Climate change is happening, it's a real issue," said Danielle Bédard, who helped organize the event in Windsor, Ont. "Things have to happen and it really needs to be on our political agenda."

Great coverage of these demos, this is the third year that they have been happening and the first in which they have really been covoured.
