Climate change protesters were arrested at the New York Times' offices during a protest against what they called the paper's "unacceptable" climate coverage.<br /><br />On Saturday afternoon, the protesters scaled NYT and Port Authority buildings, lay down in the road outside and chanted slogans demanding action over the 'climate emergency' -- a term they demand the paper uses instead of 'climate change'.<br /><br />The activists, from the Extinction Rebellion activist group, marched from Bryant Park before arriving at the NYT's HQ in 8th avenue, where they blocked traffic.<br /><br />Witnesses said more than two dozen protesters were arrested, to applause from the gathered crowd. Police did not immediately confirm the number.<br /><br />A spokeswoman for Extinction Rebellion, Eve Mosher, said the group wants the media to report on "the climate emergency" so that "people can start pushing for more radical responses."<br /><br />The New York Times responded that it recognised the urgency of the issue and covered it far more than other news organisations.
