Climate change strike: Thousands of Irish students join global protests

Hundreds of thousands of students and protesters took to the streets across the world on Friday, including thousands in Ireland, to demand urgent action from political leaders to tackle climate change.

Photograph: Collins “I think it’s important Leo Varadkar act on climate change, we young people are going to inherit the earth and it’s being destroyed right now for profit,” he said.

“Leo has to be bold, stop the fossil fuels. I consider myself a climate activist now, after listening to my children, who are 16, 22 and 25. I was inspired by them.”The rallies were part of the Global Climate Strike by student-led groups Fridays for Future Ireland and the Schools Climate Action Network - more than 4,000 registered events took place worldwide.

Well done all the many millions here and around the whole world who stood with our children in their fight for a future on this planet.

Ah seriously - tens of thousands in Dublin alone - millions around the world. 1.5m in Germany alone!
