Airship over Glacier National Park and Decker Coal Mine

The Greenpeace thermal airship A.E. Bates and hot air balloon One World fly near Glacier National Park as well as over the Decker Coal Mine in Montana. The airship flew with banners reading, "Coal exports fuel climate change" and "Keep our coal in the ground" to highlight the risks of coal export and mining. Coal mining companies are trying to boost exports of publicly owned coal in Montana and Wyoming to Asia, which would mean more carbon pollution and disruption to the environment and communities in the western United States.
