Oslo: Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg and campaigners from the environmental group Extinction Rebellion blocked a small oil terminal that is part of Norway's gas processing plant Kaarstoe on Saturday.

Gas exports from Kaarstoe to Europe were not affected, the plant's technical service provider Equinor told Reuters.
"There are activists trying to block off our oil terminal by sea and some onshore entrances," said a company spokesperson.

The oil terminal processes condensate and has a "very small production", she added. Born in 2003, Greta Thunberg is a Swedish environmental activist who gained international recognition for her campaign on climate change.

She began her activism at the age of 15, skipping school to protest outside the Swedish parliament building, holding a handmade sign that read 'Skolstrejk för klimatet' (School Strike for the Climate).

Thunberg's message is loud and clear. She urges that immediate action is needed to address the climate crisis and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
Her activism has inspired millions of people worldwide, and she has become a leading voice on climate issues the world over.
