AMSTERDAM, Nov 5 (Reuters) - More than 100 environmental activists wearing white suits stormed into an area where private jets are kept at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on Saturday and stopped several aircraft from departing by sitting in front of their wheels.

The protest was part of a day of demonstrations in and around the airport organised by environmental groups Greenpeace and Extinction Rebellion to protest over greenhouse gas emissions and other pollution caused by the airport and aviation industry."We want fewer flights, more trains and a ban on unnecessary short-haul flights and private jets," said Greenpeace Netherlands campaign leader Dewi Zloch.

The environmental group says Schiphol is the largest source of carbon dioxide emissions in the Netherlands, emitting 12 billion kilograms annually

Hundreds of other demonstrators in and around the airport's main hall carried signs saying "Restrict Aviation" and "More Trains".

Responding to the protest, Schiphol said it aims to become an emissions-free airport by 2030 and supports targets for the aviation industry to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

Military police tasked with airport security said in a statement they had "made a number of detentions of persons who were on airport property without being allowed

Being a "climate change activist" = how to show you have no critical thinking skills

Like wokeism, it has all the makings of a cult. Self-flagellation, penitence, public shaming, tearing down old monuments and artwork to make room for the new.

People have always needed some sort of religion.

Welcome to the new religions.

EU can indulge themselves with this a lot more...

As children of the nanny State everything is taken care of, not as worried about economic ramifications.

Also trains... they can reasonably do most domestic travel by rail without terrible inconvenience. Much shorter distances and vastly more infrastructure.

Also how to show you are unemployed.....

And on another note... glad those 3 have their masks on, on a bicycle, outside. It's nut jobs like these that keep me inspired to carry a .380 in the 'ole glove box.

No, but one doesn't have to be in order to understand that there is no proof that human activity is having an effect on the climate.

Your reply in itself is a logical fallacy. After you stew on that for a while, why don’t you search for organizations that concur with human activity’s effect on climate? They happens to be science based and of accredited higher education. Then do a search on organizations that say otherwise. They happen to be economic, political and right wing news based organizations. Be sure and do your search sans confirmation bias. I’ll wait.
