Climate activists dump charcoal in Rome\u2019s Trevi Fountain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate change activists turned the blue water of the Trevi Fountain in central Rome black with diluted charcoal on Sunday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 10 activists from the climate group Ultima Generazione<\/a> (Last Generation) entered the 18th century late-Baroque fountain holding a banner that said, \u201cLet\u2019s not pay for fossil campaigns considering what is happening in Emilia Romagna,\u201d referring to the deadly flooding<\/a> in northern Italy, which some experts have linked to the climate crisis.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur country is dying,\u201d other banners stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All activists were arrested and face vandalism charges, Rome police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What should we do about these outrages?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously punishing the miscreants would be a good step, but courts frequently go soft on eco-vandals<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The obvious retaliation is to wreck all their solar panels and wind turbines.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not the way they do it \u2013 not by physical vandalism. WUWT does not advocate breaking the law.<\/strong> Direct action over an issue as ridiculous as the fake climate crisis is for losers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The wrecking ball we\u2019re looking for is the election of fiscally conservative federal politicians<\/strong> who shut down all the green subsidies and market distorting renewable quotas, and punish states which defy the subsidy shutdown by penalising their federal grants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without subsidies and market distortions, the renewable energy industry will die.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m looking forward to the day when the only visible renewable installations when driving through the countryside are the rotting corpses of broken turbines and abandoned solar farms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
