Dutch police arrested over 1500 climate protesters after a climate protest garnered thousands of participants in the Hague, the Netherlands' seat of government.

Protesters blocked a section of a motorway, near the base of both the Dutch parliament and the prime minister's offices. Extinction Rebellion said some 7,000 took part.

Police said 40 of the 1579 people arrested would be prosecuted for "vandalism." They added that security had called on protesters to leave, before using water cannons to disperse them.

Some protesters came donning bathing suits, in anticipation of the cannons.

he protests were primarily against fossil fuel subsidies.

"Climate change is an unfolding crisis and we know the cause and it's still being subsidized by our government and it needs to stop," protester Anne Kerevers told the French AFP news agency.

[”Climate change is an unfolding crisis”]

No. No it is not, you delusional weak-minded tool.

It’s hysteria and mass delusion.

Just wait until THIS REAL Global Warming actually occurs. THIS is the one you should be concerned about:

2 Peter 3:10-12
King James Version

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
