Climate activists held the rig in Cromarty Firth for seven days from Sunday June 9 until last Friday. On Saturday, the Arctic Sunrise arrived to pursue the oil rig as it was towed out to sea.<\/p>\n<p>Eleven Greenpeace UK activists have been arrested so far, five appeared at Tain Sheriff Court yesterday charged with breach of the peace and were released on bail. Three freelance photographers were also arrested but subsequently released.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis oil rig is stuck in a loop, much like BP\u2019s business model but we\u2019re not here to play games. There\u2019s only one U-turn BP urgently needs to make and that\u2019s away from climate-wrecking oil and towards renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a growing global movement calling for an end to the oil age for the sake of our health, our planet and our future. We\u2019re determined to use every peaceful means available to stop this rig.\u201d said Sarah North, Greenpeace International climate activist on the Arctic Sunrise.<\/p>\n<p>Despite BP claiming that its business is compatible with the Paris climate agreement, Greenpeace argues BP\u2019s operations are in direct opposition to efforts to prevent catastrophic climate change. Evidence for this includes:<\/p>\n<p>Despite scientists warning that existing oil and gas reserves already exceed what we can safely burn, BP is seeking to expand its operations in the Gulf of Mexico while welcoming President Trump\u2019s move to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drillers;<\/p>\n<p>BP is outspending other oil majors on efforts to lobby against climate action. An investigation by Unearthed revealed BP successfully lobbied the Trump administration to weaken regulations that would have prevented the release of millions of tonnes of the potent greenhouse gas methane;<\/p>\n<p>BP capital expenditure remains heavily skewed towards fossil fuels. In 2018 it spent around $16 billion adding to oil and gas reserves, with $500 million \u2013 just over 3% \u2013 being spent on alternatives to fossil fuels. As Bob Dudley admitted to the Washington Post: \u201cIf someone said, \u2018Here\u2019s $10bn to invest in renewables,\u2019 we wouldn\u2019t know how to do it\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>ENDS<\/p>\n<p>Photo and
