Extinction Rebellion protesters have set sail on a flotilla of paddleboards, boats and kayaks to demand action on climate change on the second day of the G7 summit. A RNLI lifeboat kept watch over the group, but was not called into use during the event organised by the ‘Surfers Against Sewage’ protest group. She said: ‘I think it is important that the G7 leaders understand that we want change. Earlier, members of the climate change activists from Extinction Rebellion kicked off their protests with a football match between one team wearing masks of the G7 leaders against the rest of the world. The sand football match was deliberately rigged with the G7 team scoring into a large goal while the other team attempted to score in a mini goal.
