Climate activists target Mobil
K'Rd
Supporters of the ClimAction coalition will be
protesting outside Mobil K'Road (corner Karangahape Road and
Ponsonby Road), from 3pm this Thursday, 26
October.
"Climate change is the big threat to people and
plant, but Exxon-Mobil is trying pretend that it's not
happening," says protest organiser David
Colyer.
Thursday's protest comes ahead of a "Civil
Disobedience Carnival Against Climate Change", planned for
the middle of Queen Street at 1pm on Saturday 4
November.
ClimAction calls for free and frequent public
transport, to cut CO2 emissions, and says that the Kyoto
Protocol is not enough, advocating "system change" as the
alternative to climate
change.
