A 'house' down the River Thames
Extinction Rebellion activists staged a surprise demonstration on Nov 10, floating a model of a sinking house down the River Thames in protest over rising sea levels.
The replica suburban house was floated in front of London's Tower Bridge in the early hours in an "attempt to send an SOS to the government on climate inaction," the protest group said in a statement.
Extinction Rebellion noted that the ongoing flood disaster in northern England starkly illustrates that "our homes, businesses and families are at very real risk".
"We are watching, in real time, as people's lives are destroyed around the world and in the UK. Unless action is taken to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero, these tragedies are set to worsen," the group said.
