Greenpeace protests coal use

Greenpeace activists hoisted banners protesting coal use atop Poland's Economy Ministry in Warsaw on Monday as a global coal conference got underway and UN climate talks entered their final week.

Around 40 activists unfurled a large blue and white banner asking: "Who rules the world? Fossil industry or the people?" Others held a banner printed in red and white reading: "Who rules Poland? Coal industry or the people?"

Protesters also carried national flags, notably from Canada, the United States, Japan, Britain, Germany, Brazil and the EU.
