See aerial images of climate activists doing funky things in Paris

On Saturday, as U.N. climate negotiations plodded toward a finish, Friends of the Earth International staged a geolocation action. Its activists spread out to key points across Paris and transmitted their locations via GPS to spell out “Climate Justice” and “Peace.” The day before, Greenpeace used “eco-paint” to turn the streets around the iconic Arc de Triomphe into a giant sun. Message: Go solar, go renewable. Video from Mashable: Greenpeace also dangled a special message for the French president off the Arc de Triomphe: “Mister Hollande, renew the energy.” A week earlier, activists spelled out exactly what they wanted from COP21: Is this the moment when the rise of the oceans begins to slow? The deal is far from an ultimate solution to climate change, but it represents unprecedented progress. As many as 10,000 people from across Europe and beyond made the point that the Paris climate agreement isn't nearly strong enough. What will the deal do? What things made it into the text? What didn’t? We explain all.
