Climate strikes held by students in 100 countries

Here in the UK, some 10,000 young people gathered in Parliament Square, London to demand action. Environment Secretary Michael Gove praised their actions, saying “Collective action of the kind you’re championing can make a difference, and a profound one. Together we can beat climate change.

The response to climate strikes from the House of Commons been mostly muted.
