FRENCH POLICE HAVE thrown a security cordon around a shareholders’ meeting in Paris of oil major TotalEnergies, spraying tear gas and pushing back climate protesters.
Shareholders, some escorted into the meeting by police, ran a gauntlet of the peaceful, earnest and mostly young demonstrators, who waved signs attacking the climate record of the French energy giant that has reaped colossal profits from price surges that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Demonstrators’ signs declared: “The last pipeline before the end of the world”, and: “Listen to the scientists: No more fossil projects”.
Protesters sat down in the surrounding streets and linked arms to block access to the meeting in a Paris concert hall.
Police officers carried some protesters to move them out of the way. They sprayed tear gas from canisters to force people back.
The demonstration comes after climate protesters tried to rush the stage of the Shell shareholder meeting in London on Tuesday, with security guards dragging some of them away.
Dozens of activists also forced the delay of the start of the meeting by chanting: “Shut down Shell”, while others shouted, held signs and linked arms outside as security tried to remove them.

” “Listen to the scientists: No more fossil projects”.” Psssstttttt! Hey PRO-testers, the scientist are saying those words to get grants and research funding. Any honest scientist (if you can find many) will tell you it’s all 🐂💨💩
They’ll all be getting a couple hundred grand as an apology for the “Blue Meanies” being mean to them.
These people are delusional if they can see the climate change ,LOL
Now that's a nasty climate.
Not seeing, it's hearing... the ticking of the climate bomb!
Finally!
Don’t these idiots realize if we discontinued using fossil fuels millions would die? Or do they realize that and don’t give a damn?
I know such people. They also support mass population control. They are the worst people you can find. Stupid and easily led into cults. These are the fool that marxists use. Then discard.
I was going to pick up on that “Listen to the scientists” line as well.
It’s telling that they say scientists and not science. Scientists are human beings with flaws. True science is indifferent to human interests and biases.
They also support mass population control reduction.
