Students bring Dublin to a standstill with a protest on climate change





Thousands of students from around the country descended onto the streets of Dublin to protest against climate change on Friday.

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 for the best part of Friday afternoon.
