Greenpeace UK environmental group said on Monday its activists are blocking the entrance to the BP oil and gas company’s headquarters in London, accusing the energy giant of turning a blind eye to climate change.
“Activists are blocking the entrances to BP’s London HQ. They have set up camp inside specially designed containers. BP can’t continue as if it’s business as usual in this Climate Emergency we’re in,” a message on the group’s Twitter account read.
We’ve shut down @BP_plc’s HQ because business as usual is just not an option. They are fuelling a #ClimateEmergency that threatens millions of lives. BP must clean up or clear out #BPshutdown pic.twitter.com/BKeSl8m95y
