Greta Thunberg and other climate activists turn the Venice canals green in latest stunt

Climate activist Greta Thunberg and dozens of members of the radical Extinction Rebellion group earned a temporary ban from Venice after pouring dye into its iconic Grand Canal, turning its historic waterways bright green. The vandalism, which risked permanent damage to the beloved UNESCO World Heritage site, was the environmental activist group’s latest stunt protesting climate change, specifically Italy’s opposition to including restrictions on fossil fuels in a deal struck at the COP30 summit in Brazil on Friday. The group said it also dumped dye into lakes, canals, rivers and fountains in 10 cities around Italy, which it believes somehow will draw attention to what it calls “the massive effects of climate collapse,” the Washington Examiner reported.
