Climate Activists Spray-Paint Lionel Messi's Mansion in Spain
-------------------------------------------------------------

In Spain, climate activists spray-painted the mansion of Argentine
football star Lionel Messi on the island of Ibiza. The action was led by
the group Futuro Vegetal, which pointed to a report by Oxfam showing
that the wealthiest 1% of the world's population generate the same
amount of carbon emissions as the poorest two-thirds of humanity.
