Greenpeace activists board a coal ship off the Great Barrier Reef

Video | April 24, 2013

This morning six volunteers boarded a bulk carrier filled with thermal coal, leaving Australia bound for Asia. We did this because Australia's coal exports are the nation’s greatest contribution to climate change and plans are underway to roughly double the volume of coal we export. A development that flies in the face of Australia’s commitment to take action to limit global warming to below 2 degrees.
