It's about time they gave some of the streets back to people, but we've a long way to go. Cars don't follow the rules either, and they cause all the deaths remember.

Well we seem to be moving towards more restrictions for private cars in the city and there are plans to build more bike and bus lanes so hopefully the days of driving your car into the city for shopping etc are numbered. We really need congestion charges too for private cars. How would you cope Eric, you might actually have to walk somewhere?! I'll pray for you.

We're still lightyears ahead of them in air quality. 2) If you look at the streets where the excess is being recorded , its two of the most congested streets in Dublin (Pearse st and the quays) where theres more bus lanes than car lanes and the governments 'road diet' plan keeps cars idling endlessly in traffic.

This has affects on our health. I might have to become one of those guys that wears a stupid mask while cycling.

They've absolutely fooked up both of their kids and shamelessly attention whore them for their own personal gain. A has been actor and a has been singer with grandparents in the entertainment industry too. I've no doubt Greta believes this stuff, she's been fed it all her life and the poor kid self harms because of it. She and her sister should have been taken into care years ago and the parents charged with child abuse. She's just a puppet and her family is doing very nicely financially from it all. No matter to her parents that the kid is well on her way to a nervous breakdown.

Ocean acidification can cause the mass extinction of marine life, fossil evidence from 66m years ago has revealed... He said caution was needed in making the comparison between the acidification spike 66m years ago and today: “When the asteroid struck, atmospheric CO2 was naturally already much higher than today, and the pH much lower. Furthermore, large asteroid impacts cause prolonged darkness.”

In fact if anyone cares to do even the most basic of searches they will find out that it's all basically tied to her mother's book and her mother's publishers and the PR company behind that. They'll also find that the kids at Greta's school had zero interest in all of it to begin with. I'm sure that Greta's photo replacing her mother's on the front of her mother's book won't bother her at all. Hey, just as long as those checkout tills are ringing with sales of that book who cares what lies get told and who gets hurt?

Her father is in the process of making a documentary with Greta center stage, you think he won't have a payday. Then there is the media appearance fees, parties, award ceremonies etc, lots of perks for them.

There is no evidence the Thunberg children have been abused. She is not a puppet. There is no evidence the Thunbergs have financially benefitted from her experience to any great degree. Greta's demeanour would suggest she is very much enjoying her current experiences and there is no evidence that she is closer to a breakdown than she may have been previously. Are you Donald Trump?
