Police Remove Greta Thunberg at Protest Against Coal Mine Expansion

-

German authorities reportedly detained activist over the weekend at the site of a mine expansion project that will raze the village of Lützerath.

Footage from the weekend showed police forcibly removing Thunberg and other activists from the site.

ALN-affiliate America News Nation reported on the controversy involving Lützerath:

For more than two years, climate activists have been squatting in the village in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia to oppose its destruction to make way for an enlargement of the Garzweiler coal mine.

On Saturday, Thunberg joined them, addressing a massive crowd in the fields near Lützerath that the German government's compromise arrangement with the coal mine's owner was “shameful.”

“The most affected people are clear, the science is clear, we need to keep the carbon in the ground. When governments and corporations are acting like this, are actively destroying the environment, putting countless people at risk, the people step up.” Thunberg said during the march.

According to The Hill, the weekend clashes injured nine activists and more than 70 police officers.

  1. Has anyone ever asked who pays her? To fly and travel all over and burn carbon? To “ protest heating citizens from freezing to death?

  2. Little Greta Thunberg must be a “time bender” or possess a magic carpet in order to travel to these places and spout her “climate change” sputum-laden rubbish!! Apparently the methods of her travel have absolutely no environmentally harmful components. Can someone please tell us all again what makes her an icon and an environmental expert that seeks to be worshipped by throngs of people that must also produce no “carbon footprint” whatsoever. Just like politics, it’s ALL garbage.
