Summary:Scattered protests continued on Sunday, but climate activists in Copenhagen were largely quiet after a day of mass demonstrations resulted in nearly 1,000 arrests.
Per Larsen, coordinator for the Danish police, said that officers arrested about 230 people by midday Sunday, most in an illegal protest in the northern part of the city. The Bella Center, where representatives of nearly 200 countries have been meeting to craft a global strategy to combat climate change, was closed for the day.
Response:While its good that so many people care to donate their time to the cause of helping global warming, when people start riots and start violence they ruin more then they can imagine. They give a bad name to all of the people even the peaceful protesters.
