Climate Change Protester Ties Herself to Net During French Open Semifinal

A climate change protester interrupted the French Open semifinal match between Casper Ruud and Marin Čilić by rushing the court and tying herself to the net on Friday.

“We’ve got an interloper on the court,” the commentator said as the protester stormed the court. “Security in black sport coats is out to protect.”

The woman reportedly used a necklace to tie herself onto the net while donning a shirt that read “We have 1028 days left.” Her shirt also referenced a website that reportedly provided more insight into the reason for her protest.

“Today, I entered the field because I can no longer take the risk of doing nothing in the face of the climate emergency,” a screenshot from the website reportedly said.

The woman’s protest interrupted the tennis match for approximately 15 minutes.

Rudd, the match’s eventual winner, admitted the woman’s protest was “a bit scary,”

“It was a bit scary honestly and I didn’t know what was going on,” Rudd said. “It seemed she had tied herself and had something around her neck and they couldn’t get rid of her. I didn’t see the T-shirt and what she protested about.”

The young woman purchased a valid ticket to the game, according to the French tennis federation.

“An environmental activist managed to get onto Philippe Chatrier Court and attached herself to the net with metal wires and glue. The young woman, of French nationality, entered the grounds with a valid ticket early in the day. She was then handed over to the police,” the federation said in a statement.

She’ll feel like a real fool on 1029 but she’ll probably commit suicide before then

player was on that side of the net started grabbing balls from the ball boy/girl and just started pelting that chick.

LOL! You beat me to it......

Decades ago after I got out of the army and was working in a manufacturing plant in Detroit, I dated a gal there who used to date a biker.

One night in a popular crowded bar downtown, two guys got into a fight and were wrestling on the floor next to our table when she took her glass of beer and poured it on them.

In shock, I said what the hell did you do that for? She said that if they're going to fight then why not? That almost involved me into a fight with one of their buddies until I got us out of there........

I think the 1028 would have gotten more attention if she wrote it on her body without the shirt. IMHO.

“The woman’s protest interrupted the tennis match for approximately 15 minutes.“

Did this courageous act extend the life of the planet significantly?

...donning a shirt that read “We have 1028 days left.”

According to the bartender, it's 8.63 years left. Or whichever comes first, I guess.

Putting her in jail for 1080 days seems about right to me. Plus a fine of 1080 Euros.

The earliest UN Environmental claim that I can find when they UN stated that “we only have 10 years left” is from: January 1972.

The environmentalists are many times worse than Peter in the classic story Peter and the Wolf. One difference though is in the story the wolf really does arrive eventually. With the climate change extremists, the wolf never comes. A better comparable are the end of world cultists.

Man caused global warming is complete propaganda and contains not one stitch of truth.
