Activists from Extinction Rebellion Scotland held “zombie dances” outside the Glasgow offices of insurance firms Howden, AIG and AXA, all of which they said provide insurance to fossil fuel projects. The activists described insurance as the “weak spot” in the fossil fuel industry, and said firms could be “climate heroes” if they chose not to insure projects. “We demand these companies and the entire insurance industry immediately stop insuring all new oil, gas and coal projects – and we’ll keep coming back until they do.” The protest was part of the Extinction Rebellion Insure our Survival campaign, which will see protests taking place across the UK this week.
