Climate change activists with a group calling itself Tyre Extinguishers are celebrating their first 'action' in New York City - deflating the tires of 40 SUVs on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

The movement, which originated in the United Kingdom, seeks to dissuade people from owning SUVs in urban areas, and switch instead to more environmentally-friendly vehicles.

The SUVs they vandalized had leaflets let on the windshield, which stated: 'Attention: Your gas guzzler kills'.

On Twitter, they boasted about their actions.

'BIG NEWS: TYRE EXTINGUISHERS STRIKE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEW YORK CITY!' they tweeted on Tuesday.

They said: '40 SUVs disarmed in the Upper East Side, the first of many.

'We have an American English leaflet ('tire' rather than 'tyre') on our website so USA folks, you can join in!'

Police are investigating, but no arrests have been made.

Perhaps these uh “guests” need to be deported as they are criminals.

[bigfootbob]

This isn’t going to end well for one or more of those wankers.

[Army Air Corps]

Try that stunt in Ft. Worth.

[Tench_Coxe]

Its all fun and games until someone gets shot, or beaten to a pulp.

[CrappieLuck]

Let the air out of a couple “Protestors” (Leftist fascists)

more cities will be struck in the coming weeks

I welcome them to come and do that here in North Idaho. Welcoming Committees are standing by.

[Don Corleone]

Even in NYC you can get shot for that.

[stars & stripes forever]

Call them what they are, “Terrorists.”

[moovova]

They came to New York to do this? Don’t they have SUV tyres in England? Think about their carbon footprint just to get to NYC.

[Lurker]

If anyone happens to catch one of these idiots feel free to beat the loving snot out of them.

[FLNittany]

Yeah - I was thinking the same thing about Loxahatchee or Jupiter Farms. Lots of ways out west in FL to dispose of eco-terrorists for sure.

[Greenpees]

We should deport them immediately - They can’t spell.

[PGR88]

Obama and the NWO’s woke-activist street muscle has gone global

[caww]

Activistism today is about making anyone miserable who doesn’t agree with you. When in fact they’re much like rats in a city destroying what they can gt away with.

[T.B. Yoits]

Let them try that in the ‘hood on an SUV owned by a drug dealer.

[coloradan]

You would think that if they wanted to take action to benefit the environment, they would top up the tires, given that vehicles running on full tires are more efficient than those running on empty tires.

[Leaning Right]

So now we have British activists in New York City. The key question is this: How did they cross the Atlantic Ocean? If they either swam or went by sailing ship, I applaud their dedication to principle.

But if they went by diesel-burning ship or kerosene-burning plane, then they are nothing more than your typical disgusting leftist hypocrites.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Does this type of stunt endear anyone to their cause?

Does anyone upon seeing their vehicle with flat tires, suddenly have a flash of insight, and think, gee, I am guilty of contributing to global warming, and I need to get rid of this vehicle???
