Pippy Longstocking … er … Greta Thunberg was arrested a few days ago outside the InterContinental London Park Lane hotel where a meeting of fossil fuel executives was taking place. It would seem Greta’s doctorate in theology has come in handy since before this latest publicity stunt, Thunberg delivered a doom-and-gloom filled speech in the vain of a cult figure. From BBC:

Speaking at the rally, Ms Thunberg said: “Behind these closed doors at the Oil and Money conference, spineless politicians are making deals and compromises with lobbyists from destructive industries – the fossil fuel industry.

“People all over the world are suffering and dying from the consequences of the climate crisis caused by these industries who we allow to meet with our politicians and have privileged access to.”

Dozens of protesters at the rally blocked Hamilton Place, near Park Lane. Many carried banners and pink umbrellas with eyes painted on, shouting “oily money out” and “cancel the conference”, while some lit yellow and pink smoke flares.
