Peter was part of a protest that raised serious questions about climate change and ineffective efforts by government agencies to tackle this serious problem. He was arrested when his supporters and colleagues barricaded themselves in a JP Morgan Chase building in downtown Los Angeles.
It was a component of a global campaign led by a loosely affiliated group of concerned scientists known as the Scientist Rebellion, which included more than 1,200 scientists from 26 countries and had the support of regional climate organisations.
This incident is three months old, and still, news from him to be arrested is once again making its place on the internet. Of course, he was not arrested after that, but that doesn’t mean he’s given up on his climate change protest efforts.
He regularly tweets about the serious consequences of climate change affecting the lives of many people around the world. He is also supported by many environmentalists and people in general who believe that efforts to minimize the effects of climate change are not being performed as they should be.
