Extinction Rebellion targets the fossil fuel giant's HQ in Scotland
Extinction Rebellion activists shut off access to Shell's the Scottish headquarters this morning

ENVIRONMENTAL activists targeted fossil fuel infrastructure across the country today, blockading Shell’s Aberdeen office and staging a die-in at Siemens’s HQ in London.

Campaigners from Extinction Rebellion shut off the Scottish headquarters of the oil giant in the early hours of the morning, ahead of a day-long action.

The latest stunt is part of a fortnight of action against the fossil-fuel industry by the Scottish group.

Because Shell is killing us while making a killing, holding our economy to ransom and lobbying against alternatives.#RigRebellion2 pic.twitter.com/zdJcOibNro
