LONDON - Environmental activists glued themselves to the London Stock Exchange and climbed onto the roof of a train at Canary Wharf on the final day of protests on Thursday aimed at forcing Britain to take action to avert what they cast as a global climate cataclysm.
At the Docklands Light Railway station in Canary Wharf, five protesters from the group climbed aboard a train and unfurled a banner which read:"Business as usual=Death". One glued herself to a train. In the past 11 days, the group has brought iconic parts of central London to a standstill in what activists have described as the biggest act of civil disobedience in modern British history.
The group advocates non-violent civil disobedience to force governments to reduce carbon emissions and avert what it says is a global climate crisis that will bring starvation, floods, wildfires and social collapse.
