LONDON (AP) — Greta Thunberg has been detained by British police alongside other climate activists who gathered outside a central London hotel to disrupt a major oil and gas industry conference. Thunberg was among dozens of protesters who  chanted “oily money out” and sought to block access to the InterContinental Hotel on Park Lane, which is hosting the Energy Intelligence Forum. The conference is hosting speakers including the chief executives of Saudi Arabia’s Aramco and Norway’s Equinor. An Associated Press photographer saw Thunberg being led away by police and taken into a police vehicle. London’s Metropolitan Police said a total of 29 people were arrested at Tuesday’s protests, and all remained in custody.
