Climate activists were arrested at the New York Auto Show on Saturday after splashing oil on a Ford truck to protest electric vehicles not doing enough to solve climate change.
In a dramatic display captured on video and posted on X by Oliya Scootercaster, protestors were seen splashing oil on a Ford truck before being swiftly removed by security. One protestor attempted to convey their message through a microphone, proclaiming, "Lots of people are going to die. We need to hit the emergency brakes," before being silenced and apprehended by security personnel.
The demonstration was orchestrated by Extinction Rebellion NYC, a climate activist group from New York. The group sought to emphasize their belief that relying solely on EVs is not enough to combat climate change. This message was featured on one of the protestors’ t-shirts, which read, "There are no electric vehicles on a dead planet!"
