The group is spearheading a two-week global campaign, that kicked off Monday, with partial shutdowns of traffic in cities stretching from Sydney to New York.
Its main focus has been London, where the fast-growing group backed by Swedish teen activist Greta Thunberg, was formed by UK academics studying the effects of harmful carbon emissions on Earth. London police reported making more than 500 arrests in the first two days of protests, including campaigners who glued themselves to the pavement and chained themselves to cars.
Police arrest an activist during Extinction Rebellion demonstrations on Whitehall in London, England.Extinction Rebellion said its"Hong Kong-style" occupation of London City Airport will involve a 'Hong Kong style' occupation of the terminal building, lying, sitting or glueing-on in front of the departure and arrivals gates," it said in a statement.
"Hundreds of participants have already signed up to nonviolently use their bodies to close the airport, and are willing to sacrifice their liberty to achieve this aim."Extinction Rebellion wants governments to adopt policies that cut harmful emissions to a net level of zero by 2025.
