Staff simply left, turning off heat and lights rather than calling the police

Climate change activists protesting industries and governments had a busy summer in Europe. A relentless outfit called Just Stop Oil in the UK has created disruptions everywhere from major highways to the British Formula 1 Grand Prix, and more recently, they threw tomato soup on a Van Gogh painting at the National Gallery in London. Across the Channel, the Tour de France cycling race was forced to pause during several stages by climate activists who'd glued themselves to the road. Over France's eastern border, a group called Scientist Rebellion took the sticky route when nine members glued their hands to the floor of the Porsche pavilion at Volkswagen's Autostadt museum in Wolfsburg on Thursday.

The protesters have several requests for VW Group CEO Oliver Blume as listed in a Twitter thread about the event, among them: support for capping the maximum speed on German highways to 100 kilometers per hour (62 mph); hastening VW's moves to lower its carbon emissions; canceling the debt and interest payments "owed to VW by the Global South"; and "pressure the [government] to comply with our demands."

@JudgeDredd I have to laugh at this it's just too ridiculous not to. I can imagine protestors from the 50's and 60's such as women's right to vote and protestors of the Vietnam war are thinking what a bunch of fools smiley smiley smiley

Oh please. The convert to electric is a scam. Not that we shouldn't reduce emissions, it's just not a solution. It creates a whole new series of problems for the environment. Where are all these petrol and diesel run cars going to disposed of? What about the batteries.

So in response to this: crazy people always clamour for attention and this is ridiculous.

How much GLUE did they use? Is it environmentally friendly? What about the other items they will now need to bring whilst glued down??

Using the same thinking, these protestors are proving that human stupidity is truly infinite:

“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” ― Albert Einstein
