Londoners Hold Climate Protest as Temperatures Approach 40°C
------------------------------------------------------------

In London, doctors and nurses with Extinction Rebellion on Monday placed
stickers on the windows of JPMorgan's offices reading "in case of
medical climate emergency break glass." The activists then carefully
broke the glass panes in an act of nonviolent civil disobedience. In a
statement, nurse Maggie Fay, who took part in the action, said, "The
world is heating because of our use of fossil fuels and JP Morgan is
funding this climate catastrophe. My code of conduct states that I must
'Act without delay if [I] believe that there is a risk to patient safety
or public protection.' That danger is here and it is now."
