Climate Action Blockade Coalship the Netherlands

Greenpeace blocks the harbour of Rotterdam with "icebergs" to prevent a cargo ship carrying coal from unloading. One activist is dressed up as Prime Minister Balkenende because Greenpeace wants to motivate the prime Minister to do everything he can at the Climate Conference held in Copenhagen to stop the use of coal, which is the biggest cause of climate change.
