I really love it when Greta Thunberg gets in the news, you just know that it upped the blood pressure of a bunch of weirdos
I smile everytime Greta and other environmental protestors make the news. At least someone is fighting for the survival of all of us.
I don’t think they are accomplishing anything substantial though.
Yeah, probably better not to try after all.
I’m sorely tempted to pay Guiness to certify Greta with the world record for most times being carried off by police.
Agreed! She has the most wonderful smirk in the pic of her being carried off.
Yeah, she’s always got a little of that Nordic stoicism vibe too.
I bet she’s on a first name basis with some cops by now, though. They should write a movie where she and a cop fall in love in this kind of modern Romeo & Juliet thing.
Like the community episode about Model UN Model UN
Ah yes. She gets herself sent to county jail one night. The officer thinks she got sent to prison so he gets himself sent to prison, only for her to finish her 48 hour hold and get released… And then find out he’s doing 25 to life.
Get em Greta!!
Chain themselves to private jets if they really want to hassle execs
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Five people were arrested on suspicion of obstructing a highway during the protest targeting the Energy Intelligence Forum, which is hosting speakers including the chief executives of Saudi Arabia’s Aramco and Norway’s Equinor as well as the U.K.'s energy security minister.
Protesters attempted to block access to the conference venue, the InterContinental Hotel on Park Lane, by sitting on the sidewalk by the entrance.
They held aloft banners and chanted “oily money out” and “cancel the conference,” while some lit yellow and pink smoke flares.
Greenpeace activists abseiled down from the roof of the hotel to unfurl a banner reading “make big oil pay.”
The protesters accuse fossil fuel companies of deliberately slowing the global energy transition to renewables in order to make more profit.
Thunberg inspired a global youth movement demanding stronger efforts to fight climate change after staging weekly protests outside the Swedish Parliament starting in 2018.
