Thousands of students from around the country descended onto the streets of Dublin to protest against climate change recently.
Students claimed that climate change is happening, and that it could even lead to a so-called climate war with people fighting over water. Some cynical social media users claimed that the students just wanted the day off school and to have a bit of a laugh in town, while some students at the protest claimed that they just want the government to listen to them and that they want the government to act on the Paris climate agreement.
Either way, whatever your view, the students brought the entire city centre to a standstill traffic wise and now, it’s understood that climate change activists plan on shutting down the entire city centre for a week in October – but it hasn’t yet been confirmed if they’ll get their way with the scheduled protest.
What are your thoughts on climate change? Tell us in the Facebook post comments?
