‘Climate choir’ disrupts Standard Chartered Bank’s AGM

AN INTERNATIONAL bank’s annual meeting was disrupted by a choral protest today when a “climate choir” sang its opposition to the company’s investment in fossil fuels.
Standard Chartered Bank’s AGM was underway at Aldersgate in London when the UK Climate Choir’s musical intervention sang accusations that the bank was funding destructive fossil fuel extraction in some of the world’s most bio-diverse environments.
The choir adapted the lyrics of Taylor Swift’s “I Knew You Were Trouble,” singing instead: “Fossil Fuels are Trouble.”
