SEATTLE - Protesters unhappy with Carnival Cruise Line's type of fuel gathered at the Seattle cruise ship terminal Sunday.

The environmental group says Carnival's climate pollution has increased 20 percent over the last decade.

The small band of environmentalists featured protesters in penguin and polar bear costumes. They staged the demonstration in front of multiple cruise ships, all owned by Carnival Cruise Line.

"These ships are going up to Alaska, people are seeing some of the most beautiful places in the world," one protester said. "And they're burning some of the dirtiest fuel available."

They called for the company to meet or beat standards set out in the Paris agreement and to stop powering ships with what the groups say is some of the dirtiest fuel in the world.



KOMO News reached out to Carnival Cruise Line for comment but has not received a call back, as of Sunday night.
