The last time we reported on climate cultist Greta Thunberg, the Israel Defense Forces had intercepted her Hamas-supporting flotilla as it tried to breach Israeli waters.
It’s also been a while since the eco-nuts of Extinction Rebellion have been in the news for defacing iconic sites, such as Stonehenge and the Wall Street Bull.
In part, the lack of news doesn’t mean that they haven’t been busy pushing pseudoscience or creating chaos. It’s simply the fact that the world has moved on, and as President Donald Trump has noted, the climate change hoax is over.
This week, in a desperate bid to make headlines and retain relevancy, Thunberg teamed up with the lunatics of Extinction Rebellion for a boat-related stunt that defaced one of the most famous bodies of water: The Canals of Venice.
Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been slapped with a 48-hour ban from entering Venice, Italy after joining Extinction Rebellion protesters in dyeing the Grand Canal bright green, according to reports.The Swedish activist, 22, was also fined $172 along with roughly 35 other demonstrators involved in the action, per The Telegraph.Extinction Rebellion said the dye used was a fluorescent, non-toxic tracer commonly employed in environmental studies, such as tracking water flows or monitoring leaks. The group reportedly insisted the dye posed no ecological threat.The group also argued the stunt was designed to “draw attention to the massive effects of climate collapse,” and claimed that Venice is among Europe’s most vulnerable cities due to rising sea levels and increasingly frequent flooding.
The group also flash-mobbed the tourists, earning the ire of Italian officials.
The activists also staged a flash-mob protest in which protesters, dressed in red with veils over their faces, walked slowly through crowds of tourists.Luca Zaia, the governor of Veneto, the region that includes Venice, criticised the stunt, saying that it was “a disrespectful act towards our city, its history and its fragility”.He added: “It’s a gesture that risks having consequences for the environment.”…Extinction Rebellion said its activists had released the same type of green dye into canals, rivers, lakes and fountains in 10 Italian cities to highlight “the massive effects of climate collapse”.They tipped the dye into fountains in Genoa and Padova as well as the Po river in Turin, the Reno river in Bologna and the Tara river in Taranto.
This student was so inane that Italians are now protesting Geta.
The good news is that the trace dye appears harmless, and the color will fade in a few days.
Fluorescein can have low levels of toxicity; however, it is routinely used in some medical eye exams, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. The environmental authorities in Veneto said on Monday that tests had not indicated any levels of toxicity in the canal.Even before tests confirmed fluorescein was in the water, officials believed the chemical was causing the abnormal hue based on similar episodes in the past, the environmental agency said in a statement on Sunday.In 1968, the Argentine artist Nicolás García Uriburu turned the Grand Canal green using fluorescein “to bring attention to the relationship between nature and civilization and to promote ecological consciousness as a critical part of culture,” according to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.The color faded after about a day, according to the museum. This week, Veneto’s environmental agency said that depending on how much fluorescein was in the water, it could take a few more days for the canal to return to its normal color as the chemical dissolves.
In conclusion: The dye is artistically symbolic of Thunberg and her band of climate cultists, since the relevancy is also fading.
