Climate activists dump fake coal at Lloyd's of London

The stunt was part of a campaign against insuring fossil fuel mining.

Activists from the Extinction Rebellion (XR) group unfurled banners with slogans such as "Climate Criminals" and dumped a load of blackened boulders in the road outside the Lloyd's building on Lime Street in the heart of the City of London.

On Thursday (April 22), police arrested several XR activists after they shattered 19 windows at HSBC's headquarters in London's Canary Wharf.
