(CNN)A record 212 land and environmental defenders were killed last year, equivalent to an average of more than four per week, according to a new report from NGO Global Witness.
The figure makes 2019 the deadliest year on record for activists defending land and water resources from mining, agribusiness and fossil fuel interests, said Global Witness in a report published Wednesday.
This represents a significant spike from 164 killings in 2018, and the true number is likely far higher, said the NGO, adding that cases often go undocumented.

My headline wishes for 2021:
Record number of Antifa activists killed in 2020.
Record number of social media sites killed in 2020.

And yet, CNN does not take note of the law enforcement officers in pursuit of their duties, or the civilians who have died, many as innocent bystanders who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, because these “environmental activists” had gotten a little too vigorous in expressing their demands.
That dripping sound is my heart bleeding for them. Approximately 100% of the grief and woe they suffered was self-induced.

Probably there are a lot more in New York State but list Covid19 as the cause of death.

There’s a movie from 2013 called “The Green Inferno” about some eco-nazi rich kids trying to stop logging in the Amazon. Their plane crashes close to a village of cannibals and it all goes bad.

“Global Witness is an international NGO established in 1993 that works to break the links between natural resource exploitation, conflict, poverty, corruption, and human rights abuses worldwide.”
Just another way of describing Climate Change and Global Warming activists.

Theres a movie from 2013 called The Green Inferno about some eco-nazi rich kids trying to stop logging in the Amazon. Their plane crashes close to a village of cannibals and it all goes bad.I think the book State of Fear by Michael Crichton has a similar scene in it. Only it was an Environmentalist TV actor named Ted Bradley getting devoured.
