Climate activists pivot to targeting the ultra-wealthy

Climate activists continue to target corporations, including Canada's biggest banks, during protests.

But increasingly, they are setting their sights on the one per cent.

From private jets to super yachts, research shows that the ultra wealthy have an outsized environmental impact.

Global's Anne Gaviola reports.

Environment activists...always deciding what others should be allowed to do.

Climate activists need to find out what real trauma is.

The 10 year old in Taiwan who made their shoes / the 10 year old in Bangladesh who made their clothes / the 10 year old in Venezuela who mined the cobalt for their phone batteries really appreciate their efforts 🙄. I love our planet also, but let’s be real.. unless you’re out there protesting naked you’re just a hypocrite.

It’s never been about climate, it’s always been politics, especially the politics of envy.

Target the wealthy sure but destroying art work that is part of our heritage is just stupid .

Most people are so busy with their lives that they don’t even have time for public transport. Plus, it’s becoming more dangerous in big cities and it’s gross.

Imagine if they created companies instead of trying to free load.

Protests are annoying but sometimes it's the only way to be heard. We would all still be working 7 days a week 12-14hr days if it wasn't for protests
