Nationwide, a Clamor Over Global Warming

In front of the Capitol they gathered, a thick semicircle of a couple hundred people — mostly students, some parents with small children and a smattering of graying others. They crowded around a stage and carried signs that said, “Stop Global Warming.”

On broad signs stretching to the right and left of the stage were photos from across the country: 5,000 pictures of nearly 10,000 students from such schools as Brown, Texas A&M and California State universities and the Connecticut Community College system — all holding signs and banners calling for more congressional attention to global warming.
