Environmental activists blocked the entrance to Exxon Mobil's headquarters and climbed onto the roof to protest what they said was the oil company's inaction against global warming.

More protesters dressed in tiger costumes — Exxon has long used a tiger as its advertising symbol — were caught at the bottom of the ladder.
