Activists highlight what they see as the PresidentÕs deeply hypocritical move to come to their state to stress the urgent need to take action on climate change immediately after he gave Shell approval to drill in the Arctic Ocean. Solidarity rallies in Seattle and Portland, site of two major protests against ShellÕs Arctic drilling, will be ongoing throughout the day as well. Photo by Mark Meyer
