Climate activist Greta Thunberg is in the news once again.
As usual, she’s making national headlines for the wrong reasons.
Italian authorities have fined and banned Thunberg from Venice, Italy after she was part of a group that dumped green dye in the Grand Canal.
Fox News reported more on Thunberg’s actions:
Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been slapped with a 48-hour ban from entering Venice, Italy after joining Extinction Rebellion protesters in dyeing the Grand Canal bright green, according to reports.
The Swedish activist, 22, was also fined $172 along with roughly 35 other demonstrators involved in the action, per The Telegraph.
Extinction Rebellion said the dye used was a fluorescent, non-toxic tracer commonly employed in environmental studies, such as tracking water flows or monitoring leaks. The group reportedly insisted the dye posed no ecological threat.
The group also argued the stunt was designed to “draw attention to the massive effects of climate collapse,” and claimed that Venice is among Europe’s most vulnerable cities due to rising sea levels and increasingly frequent flooding.
Thunberg’s protest took place just as the COP30 United Nations climate conference ended in Brazil, with Extinction Rebellion coordinating actions in ten Italian cities.
These included dyeing fountains in Genoa and Padova and turning rivers green in Turin, Bologna and Taranto.
Here’s what the Grand Canal looked like: VIDEOS AT LINK..............

The move by Thunberg comes a month after she was detained by Israeli authorities, per The Guardian:
The environmental campaigner Greta Thunberg has told Swedish officials she is being subjected to harsh treatment in Israeli custody after her detention and removal from a flotilla carrying aid to Gaza, according to correspondence seen by the Guardian.
According to the correspondence, Israeli forces are also reported by another detainee to have taken photographs where Thunberg was allegedly forced to hold flags. The identity of the flags is unknown.
In an email sent by the Swedish foreign ministry to people close to Thunberg, and seen by the Guardian, an official who has visited the activist in prison said she claimed she was detained in a cell infested with bedbugs, with too little food and water.
“The embassy has been able to meet with Greta,” reads the email. “She informed of dehydration. She has received insufficient amounts of both water and food. She also stated that she had developed rashes which she suspects were caused by bedbugs. She spoke of harsh treatment and said she had been sitting for long periods on hard surfaces.”
“Another detainee reportedly told another embassy that they had seen her [Thunberg] being forced to hold flags while pictures were taken. She wondered whether images of her had been distributed,” the Swedish ministry’s official added.

Thunberg and her ilk are vile, reprehensible creatures who are under a dark and evil spell.
so the little idiot has some free time on her hands inbetween antisemitic attacks and outbursts?
screwing with Venice’s canals is sorta like screwing with Paris’ Louve or NY/NJ’s Statue of Liberty.... it is an obvious NO.No
She's been making a lot of decisions for the rest of us, so I'd like to return the favor: A 48-hour ban doesn't cut it for me, by a bit.
I prefer the sound of "48-year ban."
What say you all?
> Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been slapped with a 48-hour ban <
That’ll teach her!
#1: Be glad it was the Israelis that got you first, Greta. Talk with the (few) living, released hostages about what 'harsh treatment' really is.
#2: You somehow thought protesting and law-breaking was gonna be easy?
"BRING OUT ........ THE COMFY CHAIR !!!"
I still wish she get hit with a taser. The judges may slap her on the wrist and let her go but, the memory of being shot with a taser might teach her a lesson.
She just can’t live without attention.
She was raised by hippy parents...............
How dare they?
Tie and anchor to her and drop her in the Grand Canal.
They should make her haul that crap out with a bucket until its gone...
Maybe charge a couple euros for the show...
Not much of a fine or punishment
“Thunberg has been slapped with a 48-hour ban from entering Venice” and “fined $172”.
Only TWO DAYS??
I would think Meloni would step in and permanently ban her from all of Italy. Rubio should permanently ban her and her ilk from coming to the USA. We do not need anarchists, radicals, and agents provocateur from other countries.
Should have waited for St Paddy’s day. Waste of good dye.
Imagine how many fish she killed with all that carcinogenic dye.
She wants to get arrested and special treatment. Well, little darling, if you get arrested, get used to what it really means.
You don’t get food when you want, and conditions suck.
Good idea. In the past she’d have ended up in a dungeon.
sooner or later someone is going to have the guts to jail this reprobate for her illegal stunts, otherwise her handlers will just keep upping the anti for her ...
