Protesters Occupy Ledge Above
Federal Agency To Demand Action on
Global Warming
Standoff with Police Occurs at NOAA
SILVER SPRING, MD – With the impacts of global warming spiraling out of control in the form of wildfires, heat waves, hurricanes, floods, and sea-level rise, protesters today dramatically occupied the entrance to a leading federal agency and demanded an immediate change in U.S. policy toward fossil fuels.
Gathering at the headquarters of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Silver Spring, MD, two protesters peacefully occupied a ledge above the building’s front entrance and unfurled a huge banner reading: “Bush: Let NOAA Tell the Truth.”
