'Science is real,' marchers in nation's capital and worldwide declare
Hours before the Washington march, parallel events took place in other time zones. Among the larger events were marches in Berlin, London, Geneva and Sydney, Australia.

More marches took place in other U.S. cities, including Boston and Los Angeles. Arctic scientists tweeted their support from the North Pole.

From the Washington Monument to Germany’s Brandenburg Gate and even to Greenland, scientists, students and research advocates rallied on an often soggy Earth Day, conveying a global message about scientific freedom without political interference, the need for adequate spending for future breakthroughs and just the general value of scientific pursuits.

Denis Hayes, who co-organized the first Earth Day 47 years ago, said the crowd he saw from the speaker’s platform down the street from the White House was energized and “magical” in a rare way, similar to what he saw in the first Earth Day.

“For this kind of weather this is an amazing crowd. You’re not out there today unless you really care. This is not a walk in the park event,” Hayes said of the even in the park.

Mann said that like other scientists, he would rather be in his lab, the field or teaching students. But driving his advocacy are officials who deny his research that shows rising global temperatures. When he went on stage, he got the biggest applause for his simple opening: “I am a climate scientist.”
