Headline: Extinction Rebellion Hang Climate Change Banner At Cenotaph, London, UK

Caption: MANDATORY CREDIT: The Lightscaper Wednesday (11 Nov), at 8am, on Remembrance Day 2020, Extinction Rebellion hung a banner at the Cenotaph reading ‘Honour Their Sacrifice, Climate Change Means War’. After the banner was hung at the war memorial, British Army veteran and member of Extinction Rebellion, Donald Bell, paid his respects and observed two minutes silence. He then hung a wreath of poppies decorated with the words ‘climate change means war, act now’ on the Cenotaph. Extinction Rebellion say the action aims to highlight the connection between rising global temperatures and an increase in the incidence of conflict and war. They explain: “Research commissioned by the Ministry of Defence published in June this year points to a “growing recognition that climate change may aggravate existing threats to international peace and security.””
