Greta Thunberg protests outside energy industry meeting in London

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg spoke outside a major oil and gas industry meeting in Landon on Tuesday. Thunberg said " Behind these closed doors at the oil and money conference , spineless politicians are making deals and compromises with lobbyists from destructive industries, the fossil fuel industry. People all over the world are suffering and dying from the consequences of the climate crisis caused by these industries who we allow to meet with our politicians and have privileged access to. The world is drowning in fossil fuels. Our hopes and dreams and lives are being washed away by a flood of green washing and lies."

The three-day event will see leaders of the world’s oil and gas giants, including Shell and Total, gather with UK financers and ministers and will be a topic discussion which used to go by the name of Oil and Money.
