NEW YORK (AP) — Six years after a teenage Greta Thunberg walked out of school in a solitary climate protest outside of the Swedish parliament, young people around the world staged fresh marches and said their protests are not being sufficiently acted upon. Emissions of heat-trapping gases and temperatures have been rising and oil and gas drilling has continued even as protests like those in New York City on Friday have become annual events. The young people who organized the marches with Fridays for Future said there is frustration with inaction but also hope. People marched in Berlin, Rio de Janeiro, New Delhi and elsewhere.
