A LEADER of climate protesters Extinction Rebellion was last night exposed as a diesel-driving eco­-hypocrite who buys imported food. Gail Bradbrook was shopped by a member of the public who saw her stocking up on Waitrose goods that had travelled thousands of air miles.

Hundreds of scientists from around the world took part in protests last week to apply pressure on government agencies to make “rapid and deep” cuts to greenhouse gas emissions before it’s too late. In London, 25 scientists glued pages of scientific papers, along with their hands, to the windows of the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy to force the agency to look at the climate research they say the British government has been ignoring, The Guardian reported. In Madrid, over 50 protesters were arrested after taking to the streets and throwing fake blood on the steps of the...

King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla were nearly pelted with eggs thrown at them during an official visit to York, England, on Wednesday. The couple was greeting onlookers in the northern English town when four eggs thrown by a protestor narrowly missed hitting them. The monarch, 73, did not visibly react to the eggs, which landed near his feet, stepping over the mess as he and his 75-year-old wife continued to greet royal fans. The crowd, however, loudly booed the move and began to chant, “God save the King.” Extinction Rebellion activist Patrick Thelwell, who was identified as the...

They saw what happened (or didn't happen) when antifa made American cities unliveable. Now it's their turn. Election time is on, so what better than for Europe's eco fanatics, the toddler-like people who have been blocking highways and throwing their food on Europe's art masterpieces, to take their show on the road to the states come summer? According to the Daily Mail: Europe's top climate activists are planning a 'large-scale civil disobedience campaign' of highway blockages, hunger strikes and disruption at 'federal properties' in the US in August, DailyMail.com can reveal. Leaders from Extinction Rebellion (XR) and other European groups...

A fire engine and ambulance were among the vehicles caught in a blockade by Just Stop Oil protesters in west London which the government has said is "unacceptable". Videos shared online showed the emergency vehicles on blue lights unable to get through the traffic after around 32 protesters blocked three roads in Knightsbridge and Brompton Road. The protesters stopped traffic from travelling in either direction, with some gluing themselves to the asphalt. One video showed a stationary fire engine in the middle of a junction near Knightsbridge Underground station, with protesters blocking both the road behind and in front of...

Protesters from the climate crisis group Extinction Rebellion have brought disruption to Capitol Hill in Washington, superglueing themselves to doorways to block politicians and staff. Just after 6pm, six activists stood in doorways to a tunnel connecting the Cannon office building to the US Capitol in an attempt to prevent members of Congress attending an evening vote. A total of 17 activists were arrested and charged with crowding and obstructing, according to US Capitol police. Several were also charged with defacing public property. Demonstrators said their goal was to force a House and Senate concurrent resolution on the climate emergency...

The female protestor who sparked fury today when she glued herself to priceless artwork in the National Gallery has been accused of being a jet-setting sailor who has racked up tens of thousands of air miles. Student Hannah Hunt, 23, is the co-founder of Just Stop Oil whose social media pages are adorned with exotic holiday pictures from locations including Bali, Australia and the Canary Islands. The aspiring psychologist has contributed to chaos across the country, after she was pictured glueing herself to roads, camping in the rafters of a major oil depot in Essex and today stuck pictures over...

Yes, yes, I know. The climate is breaking down. It’s urgent. An emergency. We’ve only got a few years left to ‘fix’ it. Indeed, we won’t fix it. Weather patterns will become increasingly unstable and unpredictable, and the effects it will soon have on how humans around the world grow food will be devastating, likely causing harvests to fail across entire continents and food prices to sky-rocket. Millions have already suffered due to the amplified instability. We’re facing imminent societal collapse (whatever that means), both around the world and in the UK. All of our lives are soon going to...

A woman has glued her breasts to the road outside the Goldman Sachs offices today as activists ramp up disruption on the final day of protests. The eco-protester was spotted by passengers on a bus lying face down with her top up to her neck. Several police officers surrounded the woman and put up screens to stop the public watching her one-woman protest. It was quite possibly the most spectacular stunt yet as climate change activists targeted London’s financial districts to highlight what they call the business world’s ‘role in our collective suicide’. Extinction Rebellion (XR) demonstrators temporarily blockaded the...
