Climate activists disrupt New York Auto Show, pour oil on electric vehicles to protest climate change
"There are no electric vehicles on a dead planet!” the activists protested.

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!"

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seems kind of environmentally harmful to dump oil around.
