Australian school student Ambrose Hayes, 15, rode on a protest barge in Sydney Harbour on Friday holding a huge yellow banner demanding “No Gas” as part of a global climate rally calling for greater action from world leaders. Hayes protest is part of some 500 climate events planned across Australia as part of “Fridays for Future” movement that was made famous by Swedish student Greta Thunberg. The students argue the Environment Minister Susan Ley has a duty of care to protect them from climate change and the expansion of Whitehaven Coal’s Vickery coal mine in New South Wales state will contribute to climate change and endanger their future.
