LONDON (Reuters) -Climate change protesters on Friday blocked the entrance and exit to the Port of Dover, Europe's busiest trucking port, after causing disruption earlier this month to Britain's busiest motorway.

About 40 activists from the environmental group Insulate Britain briefly brought to a standstill all traffic to and from the Port of Dover, which handles about 6,000 trucks a day as the main artery for trade over the English Channel.
