With Solo Arrest, Bill McKibben Spotlights Exxon's 'Unparalleled Evil'

2015-10-16 19:49:11| Oil & Gas - Topix.net

Environmental activist and 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben was arrested on Thursday after staging a protest at a gas station in Burlington, Vermont to bring attention to Exxon Mobil's decades-long efforts to undermine climate action for the corporation's own gain-a strategy he called "unparalleled evil" in an op-ed for the Guardian on Wednesday. McKibben blocked a gas pump at Simon's Quick Stop and Deli Mobile station, armed with a sign that read, "This pump temporarily closed because Exxon Mobil lied about climate " with a link to a Tumblr page explaining his actions.
