Art banner on oil rig Dan Bravo in the foreground, the Rainbow Warrior sailing in background. The 225 square meter banner, created especially for this activity by Danish street artist HuskMitNavn, reads “BOILING” and shows a sweating planet.
Four activists have now kept up their occupation of the helideck of the Dan Bravo oil rig in the Danish part of the North Sea for more than 24 hours.
They swam from the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior across the Dan oil field in the Danish North Sea and are peacefully occupying the Dan Bravo oil rig to demand an immediate ban on all further oil and gas exploration in Denmark, followed by a complete phase out of domestic fossil fuel production and a massive expansion of clean offshore wind power.
Unless the Danish government is brave enough to ban the search for new oil and gas in Denmark, it will never be the green frontrunner it claims to be.
