    Climate activists have spraypainted a superyacht, blocked private jets from taking off and plugged holes in golf courses this summer as part of an intensifying campaign against the emissions-spewing lifestyles of the ultrawealthy.

    That really had me interested for a minute. Usually, when things are “targeted,” it’s with a few more explosives? Instead, I can’t really recall the last time I was this let down.

    Not even bothering with hyperbole, dear FBI agent. These are the people that helped and continue to help knowingly trigger an ongoing mass extinction event. You don’t fight the good fight with people who don’t have to care by temporarily plugging a golf hole.

      plugged holes in golf courses

      I mean… that’s kind of pointless, many courses change hole locations daily anyway.

      What the Letzte Generation did on Sylt was way more sensible: Replace hole flags with signs saying “natural reserve” and then plant native trees and flowers everywhere.
