LONDON – Several dozen environmental activists scaled Britain’s Parliament building on Sunday to draw attention to climate change.
Greenpeace said 55 of its members were atop the building, where they could be seen holding yellow banners reading ‘Change the politics, save the climate’.
One flew a giant flag from a turret in the shadow of the Big Ben clock tower.The group said the protesters scaled the neo-Gothic, 19th-century landmark using ladders and ropes.The group said it planned to stay overnight so it could welcome lawmakers, who return from their summer break yesterday.’We are here to remind them that they simply haven’t done enough to stop climate change and we need to see some action at home,’ protester Anna Jones, 28, said via a cell phone from the rooftop. – Nampa-AP
