Climate change activists in eight countries claim they deflated tires on more than 900 SUVs in what they call their "largest-ever night of action against SUVs."
Vehicles in 19 cities across the globe were apparently targeted late Monday night and early Tuesday morning by members of The Tyre Extinguishers, an international group of protesters known for deflating tires on SUVs in an effort to keep the vehicles off the streets.
The group says 52 cars were hit in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood of New York City, as were hundreds of others across the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Sweden, Austria, Switzerland and Netherlands, according to a post on its website.
The group says their goal is to "make it impossible to own" large cars like SUVs and 4x4s "in the world's urban areas."
“We're taking this action because governments and politicians have failed to protect us from these huge vehicles," the group says on its website, where they add, "Politely asking and protesting for these things has failed."
Tyre Extinguishers claim to have deflated over 10,000 SUVs in various cities worldwide since March in their effort to rid urban areas of the vehicles.

Is it a crime to damage someone else’s property? and if done by multiple people across state lines is that not a conspiracy to commit a crime subject to federal prosecution?
I mean, if you are going to charge Jan 6th protestors with seditious conspiracy, you have to charge these protestors with criminal conspiracy.
What, just an ounce or so? They can work that off easily!
Just put up a sign that says, “These tires are filled with C02 gas!”
These “climate change” sickos need to be introduced to Mr. Beretta, Mr. Glock, Mr. Smith, Mr. Wesson, Mr. Ruger, Mr. Kalashnikov, etc.
One of these days, they’re going to mess with the wrong guy’s car.
Then things will get interesting.
“Climate Activists deflate 900 SUV tires” That’s a good way to get shot.
Good commentary, thanks.
Depends how they deflated them...Did they cut the valve stems???????
Wow! How clever and effective! /s/
This would go over like a lead balloon in my neighborhood.
All over a false narrative.
I don’t know how to replace a flat tire. I’d have to call someone who would come help me, thus driving his filthy gas guzzling car/truck to my car. Then, if the tire had to be replaced, I’d have to drive to purchase a new one. And I’m sure I’m not alone. How is this deflation helping the climate?
“Depends how they deflated them”
Well, sure. If they actually destroyed the tires then they enviroweenies wasted even more energy and resources though, so I figured I’d give them the benefit of the doubt.
When they start being found dead, this will stop.
230 grains or so of weight gain?
They say they want to make it impossible to own in SUVs in “urban areas.” That includes suburbs. Nothing good about this.
Most of those SUV owners are on the activists’ side now, right?
Just put up a sign that says, “These tires are filled with C02 gas!”

Green tire cap means (evil) Nitrogen.

They’ll wind up in the trunk of a car in the long-term parking lot at the airport.
It’s amazing how perps on the YouTube LA car chase videos can continue to speed along on flat tires and then just rims.
