Who can blame them? The NY Times building has a huge carbon footprint, and the company itself uses vast amounts of fossil fuels to gather, create, and disseminate their version of the news
Police arrest 70 climate change protesters outside New York Times
Police arrested 70 environmental protesters outside the New York Times headquarters who laid down in the street and climbed onto the building to demand the newspaper start referring to climate change as a climate emergency, police and media reports said.
New York police arrested 67 people and Port Authority police arrested three others, a police spokesman said. Charges were pending.
Protesters blocked the street by lying down in a “die-in†and affixed a banner to the skyscraper in midtown Manhattan saying “climate change = mass murder,†with the word “change†crossed out and replaced with “emergency,†according to pictures posted by the website of 1010 Wins radio.
Another banner was attached to the Port Authority Bus Terminal across the street saying simply “climate emergency.â€
Demonstrators chanted “tell the truth,†a reporter for The Guardian on the scene tweeted.
According to 1010 Wins, a spokeswoman for Extinction Rebellion, Eve Mosher, said the group wants the media to report on “the climate emergency†so that “people can start pushing for more radical responses.â€
Another protester, Donna Nicolino, told The Guardian she was ready to be arrested because “we want the New York Times as well as all the other media to treat climate change as the crisis it is.â€
Yup, these are the American offshoot of the UK created Extinction Rebellion nutters, who apparently think that the NY Times, which has propagated all sorts of climate hysteria through the years, is part of the problem.
