- Story Text:Hundreds of Extinction Rebellion protesters marched down London's Whitehall on Friday (October 18), as two weeks of protests drew to a close.
Many of the climate change demonstrators held red painted hands aloft as they protested outside the road's multiple government buildings.
Extinction Rebellion is in the second week of a civil disobedience campaign that has targeted government buildings, an airport and financial institutions such as BlackRock to highlight the threat posed by global warming.
Protesters say they want to draw attention to the widespread loss of human life, mass extinction of species and threat to food supplies foreseen by scientists unless the world moves to cut carbon emissions and restore collapsing ecosystems.
