LONDON
-- Climate change activists sat in the road near Britain's Houses of Parliament
on Tuesday while demanding government action to save the planet.
Waving
signs with slogans such as “There is No Planet B'' and “We Want to Live,''
demonstrators with the group Extinction Rebellion stopped traffic near
Parliament Square. Police made five arrests.
The
protest was part of two weeks of civil disobedience planned for London, Cardiff
and Manchester.
Extinction
Rebellion is calling on politicians as they return from a summer recess to
support a climate emergency bill and to prepare for a climate crisis.
