Climate protesters spilled a 1,000 liters (220 gallons) of fake oil outside Lloyd’s of London Friday, part of a campaign to draw attention to the finance industry’s financing of fossil fuels.
The activists were protesting the insurance marketplace’s underwriting of fossil-fuel projects, including a tar sands pipeline in Canada. Police arrested one protester for criminal damage after Insurance Rebellion dumped the plant- and water-based liquid onto the street outside Lloyd’s from the back of van.
