RCMP arrest Greenpeace protesters

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have arrested nine Greenpeace protesters who chained themselves to a Shell oilsands upgrader plant in northern Alberta. After their arrival Saturday, the protesters, who hail from Canada, France, Brazil and Australia, put up yellow banners reading "Climate Crime" and "Climate S.O.S." They said they were protesting the oil and gas industry for contributing to climate change through the emission of greenhouse gases. The protest came after about 20 Greenpeace activists were arrested at a Suncor oilsands plant near Fort McMurray, Alta. a couple of weeks ago.
