Arctic Under Pressure: Greenpeace goes to investigate

The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere else on the planet. As the sea ice vanishes, the fragile marine ecosystem is becoming disrupted and fishing fleets are racing northwards to exploit previously unreachable stocks.

At the same time, increasing carbon dioxide levels from fossil fuels and forest destruction are changing the chemistry of our oceans and creating a severe threat to marine life.

Climate protest on Parliament roof

Environmental campaigners stage a protest on the roof of the Houses of Parliament


More than 20 environmental campaigners are still on the roof of the Palace of Westminster in a protest over climate change, while another 20 are being held by police.

The Greenpeace activists hope to greet politicians as they arrive for the start of Parliament with a 12-point manifesto calling for zero carbon emissions by 2030, a stop to airport expansion, more wind power and new pollution taxes.

The group is looking to upcoming climate talks in Copenhagen as the ideal opportunity to address the climate problem.

The demonstrators climbed on to the roof, ramparts and a turret on top of Westminster Hall at the weekend, unfurling yellow banners which read: "Change the politics, save the climate".

They said there was little resistance from police when they moved quickly to prop ladders against the wall and climb on to the roof.

On the pavement below, Greenpeace campaigner Robin Oakley said morale was high and the group planned to stay as long as possible.

He said: "Our volunteers have spent the night on the roof and have woken up to a dawn where they are determined to get the message across to MPs who are back today."

The ease with which protesters gained access to the site raised concerns over security.
