Extinction Rebellion activists protest in the lobby of AIG Talbot, October 30, 2024

FOUR “insurers of the apocalypse” hit the streets of London carrying briefcases warning of impending floods, famine and extinction today.

The stunt marked the third day of Extinction Rebellion’s protests in the capital’s financial district, targeting 52 insurance firms to demand that they cut ties with fossil fuel organisations driving climate breakdown.

In the morning, 10 XR activists dressed in business suits sauntered into the lobby of AIG Talbot, unfurling banners calling on the transnational, which also has offices in New York and Singapore, to stop insuring climate criminals.
