Climate activists across Europe have pulled plenty of stunts over the past year, from throwing soup on a Van Gogh painting, to gluing themselves to various objects and roadways. In this embarrassing incident, British activists glued themselves to an oil tanker in Essex. The only problem? The tanker was carrying cooking oil, not crude oil.

Big oil has been a primary target of protests like this one from the beginning, and the activism group Just Stop Oil is behind many of the aforementioned demonstrations.

These protestors are part of a Just Stop Oil offshoot called Extinction Rebellion, which released a statement following the incident. "We are in civil resistance. This morning we occupied a tanker on the roads near Purfleet terminal to stop the flow of oil." Unfortunately, all they stopped in this case was the slicking of local frying pans.

Sounds messy, maybe scrape them off like barnacles?

I wonder, just how do they unglue them?

High pressure acetone spray should eventually do the trick.
