May 24 (UPI) -- Hundreds of thousands of students around the world took in a global event Friday to draw attention to the fight against climate change.
The second "Global Climate Strike" was inspired by Greta Thunberg, a Swedish student in Stockholm who sparked the first protest event in March that included about 1.4 million students. Organizers expected Friday's turnout to be even greater, though official figures have yet to be counted.
