Greenpeace blockades Esso refinery in France

Around 60 Greenpeace activists have blocked access to an Esso refinery near the French city of Le Havre in protest at the oil company’s attitude towards global warming.

Greenpeace sent its flagship, the Rainbow Warrior, up the River Seine to Le Havre, where protestors used inflatable boats to prevent tankers from leaving Esso’s Port Jerome refinery.
