PROTESTERS FROM EXTINCTION Rebellion blocked the entrance to a conference, for the international investment fund community in Ireland, demanding that the companies divest their funding from fossil fuels.
Louis Heath, who poured oil on the protesters today on Golden Lane in Dublin, said it is “totally ridiculous” that business leaders and the public continue to see the impacts and statistics on climate change and yet still invest in fossil fuels.In the 2023 Banking on Climate Chaos report, twelve banks who provided the most amount of financing to fossil fuels were labeled the “dirty dozen” by the organisation that tracks bank financing of fossil fuel industry.
Leslie Marce, a protestor who got doused in “oil”, said that Irish Funds should not be involved with the investment into fossil fuels and questions the authenticity of their “integrity” values. Louis added that for every euro that’s invested into companies who produce or provide energy from fossil fuels, it directly hurts our climate.Muiris O'Cearbhaill Death by oil Muiris O'Cearbhaill
