Climate change protesters glued themselves to a train and blocked major London intersections Wednesday, on the third day of a civil disobedience campaign. (Lewis Pennock/PA via AP) (Associated Press)LONDON — Environmental protesters who have blocked London roads and bridges for more than three days said Thursday they plan to take their civil disobedience campaign to Heathrow, Europe’s busiest airport, at the start of the Easter holiday weekend. The Extinction Rebellion group said it would mount a protest at the airport on Friday. Heathrow said it was “working with the authorities to address any threat of protests which could disrupt the airport.”Hundreds of demonstrators have blocked central London sites including Waterloo Bridge over the River Thames and the Oxford Circus and Marble Arch intersections since Monday. The protest sites have sprouted tents, sound systems and even an ice cream van.
