‘Greenpeace’ protestors scaled the Sydney Harbour Bridge early this morning, calling for Prime Minister Scott Morrison to “declare a climate emergency”.

Greenpeace CEO David Ritter said, “Australians who have survived climate disasters have come to the centre of Sydney to demand action because they are sick of being ignored.”

Temporarily closing one lane of traffic, six protestors mounted the structure while others lined the pedestrian areas of the bridge. It is thought that the climbers were planning to release a large banner.
