Mass demonstrations are reported Saturday around the UK and in Paris ahead of the Copenhagen climate change summit.

Demonstrations in London, Glasgow, Belfast and Paris demand action on climate change in the summit’s eve. They want the Western nations to commit to an 80% cut in carbon emissions by 2050.

In London, 20,000 people are taking part, while about 7,000 turned out earlier in Glasgow, BBC reports, citing British police officials. A march is also taking place in Belfast.
