New York, September 24 (RHC)-- One day after the largest climate march in history, thousands of protesters marched on Wall Street to highlight the role of corporations and capitalism in fueling climate change.

At a protest dubbed "Flood Wall Street," people sat down in the streets just blocks from the U.S. Stock Exchange. They remained for more than eight hours until police deployed tear gas and began arresting more than 100 people.

The action as the United Nations Climate Summit began, where leaders from 125 nations are discussing an international agreement to cap record emissions of greenhouse gases.
