Climate Activist Buries Arm in Concrete Block to Halt Keystone XL

An innovative climate activist in Oklahoma temporarily shut down construction on the Keystone XL pipeline on Thursday morning after locking his arm into a concrete capsule buried directly in the pipeline’s path, according to the Great Plains Tar Sands Resistance.

The man, 42-year-old Fitzgerald Scott, was extracted by emergency crews and taken into police custody.
