DALLAS -- Greenpeace demonstrators were arrested after protesting global warming Tuesday morning, attempting to block ExxonMobil's compound in Irving, its international headquarters.

A statement from the environmental group Greenpeace said 45 demonstrators tried to block access to the complex, saying ExxonMobil isn't doing enough to help solve global warming.

Some demonstrators were positioned across the entrance while others reportedly entered the building to serve a list of charges against the company. The move comes as ExxonMobil's board of directors and international executives attempt to gather from across the world for Wednesday's annual general meeting.

Business at the international headquarters of the world's most powerful company ground to a halt this morning as the Greenpeace Global Warming Crimes Unit converged on ExxonMobil's compound in Irving, Texas.

It's nice to see this group's delusions aren't limited to global warming issues.

Meanwhile, Greenpeace continues to ignore the elephant in the living room, a.k.a, the sun.

I hope they all walked to the compound in protest. It would be quite hypocritical if they drove to protest Exxon.
