Private jets were blocked from leaving the airport in Amsterdam by hundreds of climate activists ahead of the annual COP27 climate change summit.

An Egyptian resort town will begin hosting a massive annual United Nations climate meeting on Sunday. But will it be a place where real action can be taken on addressing climate change, or will it be a distressing example of international greenwashing that makes little serious progress?
It depends on whom you ask. President Joe Biden will be attending what's known as COP27 for at least a day. The White House says he'll "build on the significant work the United States has undertaken to advance the global climate fight."
But Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg counts herself among the gathering's critics. Speaking in London at the release of her book, "The Climate Book," the 19-year-old who has gained global fame in the fight against climate change said the meetings are mostly a chance for "leaders and people in power to get attention, using many different kinds of greenwashing."

Looking kinda insurrectiony there.
This makes sense than destroying paintings atleast
It makes NO sense
@ZRH Trainspotter exposed I think he is comparing it to the infantile misdirected asshattery of destroying paintings for attention. This is, at the very least, thematically consistent with their protest. It’s still dumb and virtually pointless and ineffective, but they are vaguely aiming their anger in the direction of the people that do the things that they claim are causing the harm they want to prevent.
I say just continue on with the flight schedule. It will only take one
This all based on uncertain and slanted data

Good, stay out of the museums.
People that are sad that they have no power in their lives.
It’s all fun and games until an engine pulls someone in
