I really love it when Greta Thunberg gets in the news, you just know that it upped the blood pressure of a bunch of weirdos
I smile everytime Greta and other environmental protestors make the news. At least someone is fighting for the survival of all of us.
I'm sorely tempted to pay Guiness to certify Greta with the world record for most times being carried off by police.
Agreed! She has the most wonderful smirk in the pic of her being carried off.
Yeah, she's always got a little of that Nordic stoicism vibe too.
I bet she's on a first name basis with some cops by now, though. They should write a movie where she and a cop fall in love in this kind of modern Romeo & Juliet thing.
Like the community episode about Model UN Model UN
Ah yes. She gets herself sent to county jail one night. The officer thinks she got sent to prison so he gets himself sent to prison, only for her to finish her 48 hour hold and get released... And then find out he's doing 25 to life.
Chain themselves to private jets if they really want to hassle execs
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Five people were arrested on suspicion of obstructing a highway during the protest targeting the Energy Intelligence Forum, which is hosting speakers including the chief executives of Saudi Arabia’s Aramco and Norway’s Equinor as well as the U.K.'s energy security minister.
Protesters attempted to block access to the conference venue, the InterContinental Hotel on Park Lane, by sitting on the sidewalk by the entrance.
They held aloft banners and chanted “oily money out” and “cancel the conference,” while some lit yellow and pink smoke flares.
Greenpeace activists abseiled down from the roof of the hotel to unfurl a banner reading “make big oil pay.”
The protesters accuse fossil fuel companies of deliberately slowing the global energy transition to renewables in order to make more profit.
Thunberg inspired a global youth movement demanding stronger efforts to fight climate change after staging weekly protests outside the Swedish Parliament starting in 2018.
The original article contains 343 words, the summary contains 149 words. Saved 57%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
