U.K. Extinction Rebellion Actions Target Fossil Fuel Ties of Siemens, Shell
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In London, England, climate activists with the group Extinction
Rebellion held a "die-in" protest outside the corporate offices of
Siemens, calling out the German company over its support for the Adani
coal mine in Queensland, Australia - a major source of greenhouse gas
emissions. Meanwhile, Extinction Rebellion activists in Aberdeen,
Scotland, locked themselves together in a human chain to block the
offices of Shell Oil Company, holding signs that read "Tell the Truth"
and "Fossil Fuels Equal Extinction."
