Activists promise largest climate civil disobedience ever at Paris summit

Thousands expected to take part in 'red line' blockades of Paris climate summit, after two weeks of colourful protests that have been dubbed 'the Climate Games'

Thousands of climate change campaigners have promised to blockade a major UN climate summit in Paris with what they say will be non-violent direct action on a scale Europe has not seen before.

Grassroots groups from 350.org to Attac France are throwing their weight behind the "Climate Games" event for the landmark climate conference in December. The protests will involve 10 blockades, themed around "red lines" which they fear negotiators for the nearly 200 countries inside the summit may cross.
