LONDON — The climate group Extinction Rebellion blocked all major roads around Britain’s Parliament on Monday in protests the organization said would last two weeks. Hundreds of activists occupied Trafalgar Square, a major landmark, as well as Westminster Bridge, with drummers entertaining protesters as they set up tents. Smaller protest sites were set up outside government departments, including the Ministry of Defense.
