As UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak jetted off to the Climate Summit in Manhattan, he may have received a sky-high message from back home: 'No New Oil.'

Crafted on Glastonbury Tor, one of the UK's most iconic landmarks, the message was spelled out by individuals lying on the ground, adorned in vibrant hues of orange, pink, and red.
