London Climate Protesters Spray British Treasury with Fake Blood
----------------------------------------------------------------

Protesters with the activist group Extinction Rebellion used a fire
engine and hoses to  spray hundreds of gallons of fake blood outside the
British Treasury in London on Thursday, covering part of the building in
red liquid. The protesters also displayed a banner reading "stop funding
climate death." At least two people were arrested. One of the activists
told Reuters, "The red symbolizes the people dying now in the Global
South and also the people who are going to start dying from climate
change all around the world if we do nothing."
