'The elites of the Oil and Money Conference, they have no intention of transition,' Thunberg said ahead of her arrest. 'Their plan is to continue this destructive surge of profits. That is why we have to take direct action.'
Climate leader Greta Thunberg was among at least 27 people arrested in London on Tuesday at a rally against the Energy Intelligence Forum, where fossil fuel CEOs rubbed elbows with policymakers including British Energy Minister Graham Stuart and, as one campaigner said, continued 'hijacking our politics to keep us hooked on their dirty fuel.
' 'The police are again doing the dirty work of the oil elite,' she added. 'Greta deserves better, the world deserves better, we all deserve better.' Hours before her arrest, Thunberg addressed her fellow protesters and warned the public not to be fooled by the climate and decarbonization pledges of companies like Shell, which announced this year it would not move forward with earlier plans to curb oil production.
