Climate-change activists disrupted rail services in London on Thursday, sparking a clash between angry commuters and a protester who had climbed onto the roof of a London Underground train during rush hour. Extinction Rebellion is in the second week of a fresh civil disobedience campaign that has targeted government buildings, a local airport and financial institutions such as BlackRock to highlight the threat posed by global warming. “I’m doing this primarily for my grandchildren,” said Phil Kingston, 83, who had glued himself to a Docklands Light Railway train at Shadwell station in east London, and has been arrested multiple times at previous protests.
