G20 Protests Continue as Activists Challenge Fossil Fuel Subsidies 
-------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Protests are continuing against the G20 summit of world leaders in Los
Cabos, Mexico. On Monday, activists unfurled a giant "one trillion
dollar" bill representing the money given in fossil fuel subsidies each
year. The group Avaaz.org says it has collected more than 750,000
signatures for a petition calling for a shift to renewable energy.
