11/29/2007 A pochi giorni dalla Conferenza delle Nazioni Unite sul Clima (UNFCCC), che si terrà nell'isola indonesiana di Bali dal 3 al 14 dicembre, gli attivisti di Greenpeace si sono arrampicati su una gru del cantiere di Torre Valdaliga Nord di Civitavecchia con un enorme e colorato striscione per denunciare la riconversione a carbone dell'impianto che allontana l'Italia dagli obiettivi di Kyoto.
