The climate activist Greta Thunberg has been detained by police at a large demonstration in The Hague, the Netherlands, on Saturday.
Ms Thunberg was put in a large bus by local police, along with other protesters who tried to block a major highway into The Hague.
The dangerous rise in eco-extremism in Canada is fueled by identity politics and exaggerated climate anxieties
The rhetoric surrounding “decolonization” and identity politics, coupled with exaggerated concerns about climate change, is giving rise to a dangerous form of eco-extremism that is spreading unchecked across the country.
This trend is vividly illustrated by the February 2022 terrorist assault on a Coastal GasLink pipeline project site in British Columbia. Approximately 20 masked assailants armed with axes and flare guns descended upon the site, instilling fear among security personnel and workers and causing an estimated $20 million in damages, as reported by B.C.’s Independent Contractors and Business Association.
Ottawa and Canadian security agencies are ignoring a threat posed by eco-extremists motivated by self-righteous climate change alarmism.
How many Manitobans remember that shortly after the federal government introduced emergency legislation against convoy protesters there was a real terrorist attack on a Coastal GasLink pipeline worksite in British Columbia?
Miners and environmentalists are locked in a battle over a multi-billion dollar treasure trove of metals at the bottom of our deepest oceans.
Now drama on the high seas miles above is heating up the fight.
One mining company claims Greenpeace activists disrupted a research expedition when they boarded its vessel in the remote Pacific.
As a result the campaign group could be thrown out of the UN body overseeing controversial plans to begin deep-sea mining.
The government may be forced to limit the available choices for citizens in order to battle predicted ‘devastating consequences’ of climate change. That’s the message in an opinion titled “Climate Justice,” published on March 13th by the German Ethics Council.
In the opinion, the Ethics Council—a board of expert advisors established by German law—recommends actions to be taken by corporations, individuals, and the government to ensure the effects of climate change do not unjustly burden “those who are not so well-off.”
Climate activists from the group Last Generation took to the streets to engage in “civil disobedience” in 10 cities across Germany on Saturday, where they disrupted traffic before being hauled off by police or going home on their own accord.

Swedish police on Tuesday removed Greta Thunberg and other climate activists who were blocking the entrance to Sweden’s parliament for a second day.
Two police officers were said to have lifted Thunberg and dragged her some 20 meters from the door she had been obstructing.
Thunberg and dozens of other environmental campaigners started blocking the main entrances to Sweden’s parliament on Monday in a sit-down protest against the effects of climate change.
I wonder if she blames climate change on Jews?
In perhaps the most scathing condemnation yet of the young “activists” known for their pseudo-concerns for the environment, a new poll revealed that around half of them are unwilling to put their money, even a measly ten bucks (or less), where their mouth is.
The Tesla Gigafactory in Grünheide near Berlin was evacuated on Tuesday after a major power outage.
The left-wing extremist “Volcano Group” said it had carried out the assault on the power grid supplying the carmaker.
“We sabotaged Tesla today,” a letter from the Volcano Group said, specifying an “attack on the electricity supply.”
Some left-leaning cities are hatching plans to make large swaths of their communities off limits to personal vehicles.
SACRAMENTO — Thanks to the wonders of social media, it’s easy to find large communities of car-loathing, bicycle-riding, transit-loving urbanists who view cars as “death machines” and insist they are the cause of every woe known to mankind. Many of these progressive scolds would love to ban them, or, at least, strictly limit their use. For instance, some left-leaning cities are hatching plans to make large swaths of their communities off limits to personal vehicles.
A power company that has received £6bn in UK green subsidies has kept burning wood from some of the world’s most precious forests, the BBC has found.
Papers obtained by Panorama show Drax took timber from rare forests in Canada it had claimed were “no go areas”.
It comes as the government decides whether to give the firm’s Yorkshire site billions more in environmental subsidies funded by energy bill payers.
Your next fast food order could look different starting this week.
A new Toronto bylaw coming into effect this Friday will require businesses to ask customers if they want single-use food accessory items with their order. It’s part of a broader program by the city to reduce the unnecessary waste of single-use items, and a nation-wide shift away from single-use items.
I’m going to ask for cutlery made of depleted uranium.

Greenies’ delusions of intelligence and enlightenment have some very serious real-world consequences, and the environmental fallout of a California dam removal project is a prime example. Here’s the story, shared by Katy Grimes at the California Globe today…
Jacob Graham, a 20-year-old student from Liverpool in the UK, wanted to murder at least 50 politicians. Any more would have been a ‘blessing’, he said. Earlier today, he was convicted in Manchester Crown Court of seven terror offences, including preparing terrorist materials and disseminating terrorist publications.
Nate Loewentheil has written a guest essay in the New York Times. He proposes something quite amusing: to build a wall of climate shame. A towering wall on a Washington lot. A marble wall, perhaps. A wall engraved with the names, in giant letters, of those public figures who deny the existence of climate change.
