CLIMATE ACTIVISTS IN Scotland have blockaded a global shipping company in solidarity with the people of Ukraine.
Four activists have locked themselves to four bikes and another to a gas canister outside the headquarters of Seapeak in Glasgow, while three activists are sitting on the ground and blocking the office.Others are displaying banners reading “Stop Shipping War” and “Make Renewables Not War”. Blue and yellow smoke flares, representing the colours of the Ukrainian flag, have also been set off.
Stuart Bretherton, 23, a support worker, said: “In many of the escalating crises we are witnessing – from war, to climate breakdown, to cost-of-living rises – the fossil fuel industry sits at the centre, so it’s clear we need a just transition to renewable energy for the sake of peace, democracy and the planet.”
