Spanish activists vandalise superyacht in Ibiza believed to belong to billionaire Walmart heiress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By CNN<\/a>\u00a04:05am Jul 18, 2023<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spanish<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>environmental<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>activists<\/a>\u00a0have spray-painted a\u00a0<\/em>superyacht<\/a>\u00a0moored in Ibiza.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activists from the environmental group Futuro Vegetal posted a video showing them standing in front of the superyacht named Kaos, holding a banner that says: \u201cYou Consume Others Suffer.\u201d The activists then sprayed the vessel with red and black paint.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe richest 1 per cent of the world population pollutes more than the poorest 50 per cent,\u201d the activists said in the video.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It follows a similar act on Friday, when the group spray-painted a private jet at the Ibiza airport, leading to the runway to be shut down for several hours, Futuro Vegetal said.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rich kids climate activists whose families own these toys apparently pressure their parents to buy carbon offsets, so they would no doubt be shocked and dismayed if their family transport was targeted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a bigger issue. I can\u2019t help thinking Futuro Vegetal is biting the hand which feeds it. I mean where would COP conferences be without private jets?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sharm el sheik (COP27<\/a>) is surrounded by\u00a0dangerous places no sane person would sail through in a luxury private yacht.<\/a>\u00a0Even the Persian Gulf and the UAE,\u00a0the site of the upcoming COP28<\/a>, have\u00a0piracy problems<\/a>. Iranian forces sometimes board passing ships for allegedly arbitrary reasons, a problem which may grow worse as\u00a0Iran experiences continued deterioration of their economy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And of course, who would want to turn up to an event like the annual\u00a0WEF Davos conference<\/a>\u00a0in public transport?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess time will tell whether private jet owning climate dilettantes who allegedly provide much of the funding for these groups threaten to pull that funding if their personal toys are messed up.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
