"Stop Drilling, Start Paying": Greenpeace Ends 2-Week Occupation of Shell Oil Vessel
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Norway, Greenpeace activists have disembarked a massive Shell oil
vessel after 13 days of occupation and a 2,500-mile journey. Before the
vessel docked at the port of Haugesund, the six activists climbed the
platform's flare boom, waving a banner that said "Stop drilling. Start
Paying." They first boarded the vessel north of the Canary Islands two
weeks ago, calling on Shell and other fossil fuel corporations to take
responsibility for their role in climate change and to pay loss and
damage funds to help poorer countries who bear the brunt of the global
disaster.
