Floating nuclear power plants are being talked about as everything from the answer to climate change to the key to opening up Arctic exploitation. What are they, and are they about to take off in a big way?
Two climate activists from Greenpeace paraglided onto the roof of the European Central Bank (ECB) headquarters on Wednesday (10 March) and hung a banner accusing the bank of funding polluters on the eve of its governing board meeting.
After flying over the Main river in Frankfurt, the two activists landed on the ECB press centre and unfurled a banner that demanded the bank “stop funding climate killers”.
Images Greenpeace posted on Twitter also show a third activist flying close to the building with a banner reading “act on climate now”. Greenpeace has said that a total of ten protestors were involved.
