In an inspiring direct action in the UK, 400 climate activists have blockaded an oil refinery. 12 female protestors chained themselves to parked vans, others mounted tripods and still others linked arms across the refinery entrance. Organised by the group Crude Awakening they were highlighting the connection between dependance on oil and worsening climate change.
