EXTINCTION REBELLION activists said today that they have no choice but to cause disruption in Glasgow during November’s United Nations climate summit. 

Thousands of demonstrators will congregate in the city next month as world leaders gather to discuss climate challenges at Cop26. 

Activists from XR have said there will be targeted disruption, but that plans will not be revealed so police cannot combat it.
