Dozens arrested at Extinction Rebellion climate protests

Al Jazeera  

Dozens of activists have been arrested in the United Kingdom as Extinction Rebellion protesters kicked off two weeks of peaceful civil disobedience worldwide demanding governments take urgent action on climate change. 190921162628620 This was the start of planned disruptions in 60 cities around the world over the next two weeks by protest group Extinction Rebellion, which is warning of a looming environmental “apocalypse”. Members of Extinction Rebellion also set up a camp outside Chancellor Angela Merkel’s office, reflecting dissatisfaction with a climate policy package drawn up last month by her government. Campaigners want governments to declare a climate and ecological emergency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero by 2025, halt biodiversity loss, and be led by new “citizens’ assemblies” on climate and ecological justice.
