Greta Thunberg Leads Protest at Norwegian Oil Plant

Greta Thunberg and Extinction Rebellion activists attempted a blockade of Norway's Karsto oil and gas processing plant, the largest of its kind in Europe, on Saturday. The protesters used eight kayaks and three motorboats to access a security zone, while others blocked land entrances, voicing their opposition to the fossil fuel industry's impact on climate change. Equinor, which operates the facility, confirmed that operations continued normally despite the protest, stating that gas exports to Europe were unaffected. Thunberg emphasized the urgent need to address the climate crisis, criticizing the fossil fuel industry for its detrimental effects on people's lives. The police reported that they aimed to maintain dialogue with the activists, who were described as generally peaceful. This protest coincides with Extinction Rebellion's actions against the ongoing energy conference in Norway.
