We’ve already seen how Greta Thunberg and her little pals reduced an historic village green to a muddy wasteland when they gathered to shake their little fists and screech “how dare you!” at all and sundry.
Well, how dare they?
The residents of Bristol are angry at popular eco-activist Greta Thunberg after her supporters ruined the city’s historic green.
Tens of thousands of people attended a climate change rally where Thunberg gave a speech before leading a march around Bristol.
In rainy weather, much of the grass where people stood turned into mud.

Greta’s marching morons aren’t the only green eco-warriors destroying the planet in order to save it. Anyone who’s ever seen a green protest site in Tasmania would be well aware of the squalor and rubbish littering the forest in their wake. Bulldozers were needed to clear up the tons of garbage left behind by environmental protesters at Standing Rock. Climate Strike marches are notorious for the pile of rubbish left behind.
But the damage that green activism does on the larger scale is less easily noticed – yet it is far, far more destructive.
The same activists who leave literal crap all over Tasmania’s forests are utterly silent while dozens of threatened wedge-tail eagles are slaughtered by nearby wind farms.
The [British] government is trying to get onshore windfarms going again, defying the damage they do to unique environments. I am perplexed by how its zero-carbon policies can be reconciled with its wider economic aims of ‘levelling up’ or of fostering a beautiful environment. It is an odd fact that Greens can be extremely hostile to the natural world when it gets in their way. Announcing the above story, the BBC’s environment analyst, Roger Harrabin, informed listeners that the wind turbines could go on ‘empty moorland’ in Scotland and Ireland. Empty? A friend points out that such moors contain ‘snipe, golden plover, red grouse, merlin, pippits, skylarks, short-eared owls, wheatears, stonechat, wrens and curlew’ and there will be ‘several varieties of heather, honeydew, tormentil, rowan, eyebright, many moths and dragonflies, bees, common lizard, mountain hare, red deer and much more’
The green fetish for trees can also be horrific for the environment. In Australia, green activism has seen dense eucalypt forests proliferate, and piles of flammable undergrowth turn forests into powder-kegs. Britain has fared little better at the hands of environmentally ignorant greens.
Another Green idea, uncritically received, is that we should rush around planting trees everywhere. Dr Tony Whitbread, the president of the Sussex Wildlife Trust, recently published a counterblast to all this sylvamania. ‘Enormous ecological damage was done in the mid-20th century by tree-planting’, particularly in the Flow Country of north-east Scotland, he warns. In a century, Sussex has lost 80 per cent of its heathlands, half of them to trees. ‘Chalk grassland can have about 40 species of sensitive plant per square metre; this reduces to a small number of common species if scrub invades or trees are planted.’ It is ‘nonsense’ that ‘a dense canopy of trees is the natural state of our country’. There are too many eco-babes lost in our woods.

Who cares, so long as a few wealthy greenies get to feel their warm glow of smugness as they drive their Tesla to their next Extinction Rebellion protest?
