In response to the latest IPCC report declaring a ‘code red’ climate crisis the extinction rebellion Brisbane has joined a national blockade of Australia’s fuel distribution centres.
Outside the Chevron Facility in Eagle Farm members of the rebellion have locked themselves onto the gates obstructing the entrance to the site. One of the protestors, Kate Miller says, “The IPCC report could not have been more clear: human activity is the cause of climate change and it’s accelerating, fast.”
The activists group have made clear that they stand in solidarity with workers in the fossil fuel industry who deserve a transition to secure jobs in sustainable industries and are calling for immediate government action.
