Greta Thunberg among activists detained at protest to disrupt oil executives forum_我的网站

一 |     美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶地区山火仍在延烧。截至14日，山火已造成至少25人丧生。    LONDON -- LONDON (AP) — Greta Thunberg was detained by British police on Tuesday alongside other climate activists who gathered outside a central London hotel to disrupt a major oil and gas industry conference.Thunberg was among dozens of protesters who chanted “oily money out” and sought to block access to the luxury InterContinental Hotel on Park Lane, which is hosting the Energy Intelligence Forum. The conference features speakers including the chief executives of Shell, Saudi Arabia’s Aramco and Norway’s Equinor, as well as the U.K.’s energy security minister. An Associated Press photographer saw officers speaking with Thunberg before leading her away and taking her into a police vehicle.Protesters attempted to block access to the conference venue by sitting on the sidewalk by the entrance. They held aloft banners and chanted “oily money out” and “cancel the conference,” while some lit yellow and pink smoke flares.Two Greenpeace activists abseiled down from the roof of the hotel to unfurl a giant banner reading “Make Big Oil Pay.” London's Metropolitan Police said that six people were initially arrested on suspicion of obstructing a highway during the protest. The force said a further 14 were detained on suspicion of disrupting public order, and one other person was detained for criminal damage.Police said they engaged in conversations with the protesters on allowing people to access the venue safely and prevent serious disruption to the hotel and guests, but some of the activists refused to move from the road.No charges have been issued yet.’We were linking arms when the police forced their way in and singled out Greta. She was dragged down the street at speed to a police van where they refused to say where she was being taken," said Joanna Warrington, an organizer with Fossil Free London who was at the demonstration.The protesters accuse fossil fuel companies of deliberately slowing the global energy transition to renewables in order to make more profit.“The world is drowning in fossil fuels. Our hopes and dreams and lives are being washed away by a flood of greenwashing and lies,” Thunberg told reporters before she was detained. “It has been clear for decades that the fossil fuel industries were well aware of the consequences of their business models, and yet they have done nothing.”“We cannot let this continue. The elite of the oil and money conference, they have no intention of transition,” she added. “We have no other option but to put our bodies outside this conference and to physically disrupt. And we have to do that every time, we have to continue showing them that they are not going to get away with this.”Police said those detained were taken into custody and that officers remained on site. Environmental groups say they will continue to protest throughout the planned forum, which is expected to last three days. Thunberg inspired a global youth movement demanding stronger efforts to fight climate change after staging weekly protests outside the Swedish Parliament starting in 2018. She was recently fined by a Swedish court for disobeying police during an environmental protest in Sweden.。伴随新一轮季节性强风来袭，叠加少雨天气，灭火难度增加。据估计，此次山火造成的破坏和经济损失达2500亿至2750亿美元，将超过2005年“卡特里娜”飓风，成为美国史上造成损失最为严重的自然灾害。火势难控 过火面积已达约164平方公里多处山火本月7日起在洛杉矶县肆虐。县法医办公室数据显示，在洛杉矶县西部燃烧的“帕利塞德”山火已造成8人丧生，洛杉矶县东部的“伊顿”山火已造成17人丧生。此外，还有近30人失踪。加州林业和消防局说，山火过火面积已达大约164平方公里，其中“帕利塞德”过火面积约为96平方公里，眼下仅17%的火势得到控制；“伊顿”过火面积约为57平方公里，35%的火势得到控制。强风叠加干燥天气 灭火难度增加新一轮季节性强风“圣安娜风”来袭，洛杉矶地区13日发布强风红色预警，美国国家气象局当天说，强风预计持续至15日，最高风力达每小时112公里，将在加州南部沿海地区造成“极其危险的火灾天气条件”。《旧金山纪事报》先前报道，专家认为，控制“帕利塞德”和“伊顿”这两处最大山火可能需要数周时间。“天气起着驱动作用，”国际消防员联合会火灾项目协调员乔·坦恩·艾克告诉美国有线电视新闻网，鉴于“圣安娜风”来袭，加之天气模型显示至少未来10天内没有降水，灭火难度预计显著增加。美国国家气象局说，未来几天对消防工作至关重要，预计在本周末气温下降之前，干燥天气和强风将持续。根据气象预报，下周或迎来小雨天气。斯坦福大学高级研究员迈克尔·瓦拉13日告诉《今日美国报》，火灾季的结束将以降水为标志，“大自然决定了加州和其他地方的火灾季何时结束”。将成为美国史上损失最大的自然灾害据路透社报道，截至14日，洛杉矶地区仍有8.8万人收到疏散令，另有8.4万人接到疏散警告。受“帕利塞德”影响的居民杰维尔·维加告诉美联社，自10日大火向其所在社区蔓延以来，他一直“睁着一只眼睛睡觉”。即便山火结束，洛杉矶地区也将面临漫长的恢复过程。“准确天气预报”公司估算，此次山火造成的破坏和经济损失达2500亿至2750亿美元，将成为美国史上损失最大的自然灾害。洛杉矶市长卡伦·巴斯等官员因应对山火不力而饱受批评。
