Climate activists interrupt Broadway play but get yelled at by 'Sopranos' Michael Imperioli
Multiple protesters interrupted a Broadway show with messages about rising sea water and fossil fuels, prompting responses from both of the show's stars, Michael Imperioli and Jeremy Strong.
The show called "An Enemy of the People," which sometimes involves audience participation, was halted by the activists causing confusion among ticket holders. Three protesters shouted slogans such as, "No theater on a dead planet!" with T-shirts sporting the same phrase.
One activist even walked onto the stage and started a diatribe.
"I am very, very sorry to interrupt your night and this amazing performance. I am a theater artist," the man began. "The oceans are rising. It will swallow this city and this entire theater whole. I am putting my career on the line because we are not doing anything about this crisis. The water is coming for us!" he added, according to the New York Post.
"Sopranos" star Imperioli would be heard shouting, "Go back to drama school!"
Strong, from the show "Succession," reportedly remained in character and said, "Let them speak."
3/ Activists are facing harsh sentences for nonviolent protest. Joanna Smith and Tim Martin protested at the National Gallery of Art to highlight the climate crisis. They face up to ten years in prison and fines of $500,000.— (@)
In another clip posted to X, Imperioli is seen walking off stage as he tells one of the protesters, "You are disgusting!"
"Liar, liar!" he added as he walked out of frame.
"Governments have failed us! They will do anything to stop you from learning the truth!" another climate alarmist yelled.
Then, Strong interjected and started yelling back, "You've got to go, you've got to go!" which sparked applause from the audience.

Activist group Extinction Rebellion took credit for the interruption, citing that "Rebels disrupted #AnEnemyOfThePeople on #Broadway. #Climate activists aren't the enemy; it's fossil fuel criminals like Exxon & Chevron. If we don’t #EndFossilFuels now, there'll be #NoTheatreOnADeadPlanet."
This was followed by a press release justifying their actions, which was written as if the group was promoting a product rather than a public nuisance.
"This action follows a tradition of nonviolent civil disobedience in arts and theater, such as Parisian students’ occupation of the Odéon theatre in 1968 — not to mention theater itself as a powerful medium for provoking social change," the group wrote.
"Just as 'An Enemy of the People' demands people act, Extinction Rebellion too is demanding immediate action ... Extinction Rebellion demands the government tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025. These demands reflect the urgency of the existential crisis that we’re facing."

Strangely, one activist made a point of specifically saying that she was "not protesting theater" and not "protesting the emissions that brought spectators to get here." However, she still claimed the interruption was the group's "last resort to draw public attention to the climate emergency."

Radical climate change activists hurl soup at Mona Lisa painting in Louvre, critics demand police 'lock them up'
Radical climate change activists hurled soup at the Mona Lisa painting inside the Louvre Museum in Paris on Sunday.
Video shows the moment that two women approach the Mona Lisa painting and then douse Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece with soup.
The women reportedly shouted, "What’s the most important thing? Art, or right to a healthy and sustainable food?"
Louvre employees were seen on video placing black panels in front of the Italian Renaissance masterpiece and asking visitors to evacuate the room.
No damage was done to the classic piece of art since it rests behind bulletproof glass.
"Two activists from the environmental movement ‘Riposte Alimentaire’ sprayed pumpkin soup on the armored glass protecting the Mona Lisa, this Sunday, January 28, 2024, around 10 a.m. (4 a.m. ET)," the Louvre Museum said in a statement. "The Louvre’s security staff immediately intervened."
Paris police said two individuals were arrested following the incident.
The radical environmental group Riposte Alimentaire – which roughly translates to "Food Response" – took credit for the soup attack on the Mona Lisa painting and demanded "the integration of food into the general social security system."
The climate change group said on the X social media platform, "Our agricultural and food system also has extremely worrying environmental consequences."
"This violence weighing on our food and on those who allow it has clear causes: the agri-food industry increased its margins to 48% last year, and its excessive profits are estimated to be responsible for two-thirds of inflation," the ecological group claimed. "Agriculture is responsible for 21% of national greenhouse gas emissions and contributes greatly to the deterioration of our biodiversity and the impoverishment of soils, due to the massive use of inputs."
The group identified the women as 24-year-old Sasha and 63-year-old Marie-Juliette.
The Mona Lisa is arguably one of the most famous and iconic paintings in the world – drawing millions of visitors every year. Leonardo da Vinci created the artwork between 1503 and 1506.
Numerous online commentators were outraged at the attempted vandalism of the iconic painting and called on authorities to throw the book at the radical climate change activists.
The Libs of TikTok account: "Climate activists threw soup at the Mona Lisa in the Louvre Museum today. Employees responded by holding up curtains to block visitors from seeing. These climate t*rr*rists need to be arrested and given long prison sentences. This needs to stop."
Journalist Tom Fitton: "Left-wing terrorists (or, as media calls them, "climate activists") attack the "Mona Lisa." Another reminder the Left are enemies of history, memory, and beauty.
Women's sports activist Riley Gaines: "Ah, yes. Defacing the Mona Lisa with soup will immediately make everyone stop burning & developing fossil fuels. Great idea Lock them up."
The Culture Critic account: "Soup being thrown at the Mona Lisa by climate zealots. Security just sits idly and watches. Once again, the sad truth is that this is being ALLOWED to happen by the gallery. This has happened enough times now for there to be a rapid response protocol – yet nothing ever stops them. These institutions are no longer fit to be custodians of these masterpieces."
Journalist Rita Panahi: "How are these climate cultists getting so close to masterpieces armed with paint, soup, hammers, etc? This time they’ve attacked the Mona Lisa. Jail."
Writer Andrew Doyle: "Environmental activists at the Louvre have sprayed the Mona Lisa with soup. It’s no coincidence that those who are disgusted by humanity wish to desecrate its greatest achievements."
The @Amuse account: "Destroying the Mona Lisa will have no impact on the global average temperature."

Levin: Climate change radicals are the ACTUAL 'science deniers'
Climate change isn’t the threat its believers make it out to be.
According to Mark Levin, it’s actually “a religion going back hundreds of thousands of years” in which followers “pray to the weather gods.”
“The idea that we have any effect on this massive planet is a lie,” he adds.
Not to mention, those who worship the religion of science claim that the earth “is worse than ever before” — but there’s no way of verifying that.
“How do we know that? They haven’t been keeping statistics till the mid-1800s,” Levin says.
“The planet’s 3.5 billion years old.”
In fact, the weatherman not only gets his weather predictions wrong more often than right, the forecasters don’t even claim to know the future weather after 10 days.
“What’s the weather in 12 days? I don’t know, but we just know we’re destroying the planet,” Levin mocks.
He notes that the left’s obsession with lowering carbon is ridiculous as well.
“Carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. It’s never been a pollutant. It cannot be a pollutant. Why? Because it’s what’s necessary for plant life to live on the planet Earth. Carbon dioxide for plants is what oxygen is for human beings,” he explains.
While it’s all nonsense, there’s a reason for the left’s madness.
“There’s been this effort to control carbon dioxide, which means control your life. To destroy cars, the combustion engine, fossil fuels, single-family homes, to destroy livestock,” Levin says.
“In other words, to fundamentally alter how a free people live and choose to live.”

The Lifestyle Of Climate Radicals Tells You All You Need To Know About Their Sincerity
Either climate alarmists don’t actually believe the planet is doomed, or they aren’t as confident in that belief as they claim to be.Let them fight: Climate change activists disrupt Pride march, accuses LGBTQ+ progressives of failing 'marginalized communities'
Two progressive groups found themselves at odds during the London Pride march on Saturday when climate change activists intentionally halted an LGBTQ+ float.
Members of Just Stop Oil – a self-described "coalition of groups working together to ensure the government commits to halting new fossil fuel licensing and production" – disrupted the London Pride march. Seven members of the environmental group stopped an LGBT float sponsored by Coca-Cola.
The climate change radicals were seen on video spraying pink and black paint on the pavement and on the open-air bus draped with rainbow flags. The climate change activists then sat on the road in front of the float, preventing the bus from moving forward in the parade.
The Guardian reported, "After 16 minutes, police arrested seven protesters for public nuisance offenses and the parade continued again one minute later."

Just Stop Oil defended interfering with the Pride parade because the group demanded organizers of the Pride march "make a statement condemning new oil and gas licenses."
"Pride in London have failed to do this, so we have taken action," Just Stop Oil said. "Who do you think will be the first to suffer the consequences of societal collapse? It will be marginalized communities, such as the LGBTQ+ community. Pride have a responsibility to take action to protect their community, and they are failing."
Just Stop Oil accused organizers of the Pride march of "working with industries complicit in worsening the climate crisis."
"Pride is a protest. But Pride in London allows destructive industries such as Coca-Cola, who are the world's biggest plastic polluter and who have been accused of numerous human rights abuses, to co-opt it and pinkwash themselves," Just Stop Oil added.
"Pride in London has failed to address and take responsibility for these relationships. New oil and gas is a death sentence for millions of people, and the LGBTQ+ community will be one of the first to suffer," the environmental group stated.
Will De'Athe-Morris, from Pride in London, told the BBC, "Pride is a protest and pride is a celebration. We are protesting for LGBTQ+ rights and for our trans siblings in a separate march alone."
"So for us anyone who tries to disrupt that protest and parade is really letting down those people who use this space once a year to come together to celebrate and protest for those rights," De'Athe-Morris said.

Climate vandals dye water in Rome's Trevi Fountain black; police drag them away
Several vandals from a climate activist group called Ultima Generazione dyed the water in Rome's Trevi Fountain black Sunday before police hauled them away, multiple outlets reported.
"Enough of these absurd attacks on our artistic heritage," Rome's mayor Roberto Gualtieri tweeted, adding that restoration would be "expensive and complex."
He asked that activists stop putting monuments at risk.
Gualtieri praised the timely intervention of the local police, thanking them for ensuring the damage was kept to a minimum. The mayor said the vandalism would require wasting 300,000 liters of water.
Later in the day, the mayor shared a video on Twitter showing the fountain apparently returned to its original condition. In the video, tourists are heard cheering as clear water begins flowing from marble marvel.
"Now [the fountain] can go back to enchant the world," the mayor wrote.
The climate protesters held banners that said "we won't pay for fossil fuels" and shouted about the country "dying," according to Reuters. The banners, which appear to have been professionally printed, were orange with white lettering.
The vandals claimed they used "vegetable charcoal" to darken the waters of one of the Eternal City's most popular tourist attractions.
In a Twitter post, the group said one in four houses in Italy are vulnerable to floods and asked how much longer they had to wait before government took concrete action.
\u201c\u26ab\ufe0fCarbone vegetale nell'acqua della Fontana di Trevi \ud83d\udeb0\n\n1 casa su 4 in Italia \u00e8 vulnerabile alle alluvioni. \n\nQuanto dobbiamo ancora aspettare perch\u00e9 chi \u00e8 al governo intervenga concretamente?\u201d— Ultima Generazione (@Ultima Generazione) 1684669120
Tradition dictates that visitors turn their back to the fountain and toss a coin into the water over their left shoulder in the hopes they will return to Rome again in the future. A second coin is said to promise love, and a third is to guarantee marriage, TripSavvy explains.
Coins thrown into the fountain are donated to charity.
The 18th century marble fountain commissioned by Pope Clement XII is about 85 feet high and 160 feet wide. Nicola Salvi began its creation in 1732 and it was completed by Giovanni Pannini in 1751 following Salvi's death.

THIS climate activist idea proves the 'green' agenda is ANTI-HUMAN
Is the green agenda “anti-human”?
Alex Epstein, president and founder of the Center for Industrial Progress and author of "The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels," thinks so, and he sits down with Glenn Beck to tell him exactly why.
Beck brings up a recent story concerning far-left climate activists who want to eliminate rice in order to save the world.
“We’re also, now, having these zealots take on our foods,” Beck says, “meat, rice — this is immoral.”
Beck continues, “How many people will starve without rice?”
Epstein believes this is a perfect example of how anti-human the far-left climate change movement is.
He asks, “What is your goal with respect to Earth? Is it one: to advance human flourishing on Earth? Or two: Is it to eliminate human impact on Earth?”
Epstein says the “anti-rice goal is eliminating human impact on Earth.”
He believes this is because “from a human perspective, an Earth with rice is a better Earth” and “an Earth with fossil fuels is a better Earth.”
He calls this a “pro-human environmental philosophy.”
The two discuss how illogical electric vehicles are, despite the push by Biden and governors like Newsom to replace cars that run on fossil fuels.
“What’s happening,” Epstein explains, “is the worst crackpot ideas are being dictated.”
He warns, “These people aren’t only dumb, but they’re anti-human at the core.”

Guess which HYPOCRITICAL Dem flies in a private jet to shame climate change deniers
Self-awareness seems lost on climate czar John Kerry.
Despite the supposed impact planes have on the planet, Kerry has been jet-setting around the world in a private plane and giving speeches that focus on shaming so-called climate change deniers.
“Without facts or economics on their side, they flatly deny what’s happening to our planet and what we must do to save it,” Kerry tells an audience in Scotland.
“They incite a movement against what they falsely label ‘climate change fanaticism,’ as they conveniently forget that the dictionary definition of a cult is the dismissal of facts in devotion to a lie,” he adds.
Pat Gray isn’t fooled.
“He is doing the perfect example of 'they accuse us of everything they are doing,'” Gray says.
“They are the hysterical people that are in hysterics non-stop, giving inaccurate facts, telling outright, flat-out lies, and trying to whip people into a frenzy over climate change being catastrophic and man-caused right now,” he adds.
Keith Malinak is in full agreement.
“It’s bad enough that these Marxists push their policies forward, come hell or high water. It’s another when they completely gaslight us, and they’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, look at what they’re doing over there,’ when it’s exactly what they’re doing every time,” he says.
In his speech, Kerry goes on to say that “humanity is inexorably threatened by humanity itself.”
“Well, I’m sorry that I’m not freaked out over a one-degree temperature change in a hundred years,” Gray mocks.
Gray notes that Kerry was caught in a lie years ago about his time in Vietnam.
“All of that was proven not to be accurate. It was a lie.” Gray says.
“How does he have any credibility? Now we’re supposed to buy everything he says about climate change? And we’re the ones who are spewing lies all the time? Wow,” he adds.
