Climate brat Greta Thunberg banned from Venice after latest stunt

November 25, 2025 | | Print Article

Greta Thunberg’s latest stunt was viewed as a “useless protest … to give visibility” to herself after water dyeing across Italy was met with a temporary ban from one historic city.

Flotilla season appeared to be over for the climate activist as she packed up from a Hamas-sympathizing summer on the Mediterranean Sea and returned to the grift of global extinction. As before, the young Swedish woman, who was once the darling of corporate media and green agenda panic porn, acted in concert with others when a purportedly environmentally harmless dye was poured into the Grand Canal and elsewhere, which got her the boot from Venice.

Seen in videos circulating on social media from the radical group Extinction Rebellion, responsible for past stunts like adhering themselves to roadways or art installations — the latter of which tend to be defaced as well — Thunberg was featured banging a bottle with a stick among those gathered on the Rialto Bridge while some of the activists appeared in red-veiled garb, parading with flags bearing an hourglass logo over the green-dyed canal deemed a UNESCO World Heritage site.

In addition to Venice, which, according to the Washington Examiner, slapped the group of 35 with a 48-hour ban from the City of Canals along with a $172 fine for the well-funded group, Italian cities targeted by the climate extremists included: Bologna, Genoa, Milan, Padua, Palermo, Parma, Taranto, Trieste, and Turin. Signs had also been unfurled at each location in either English or Italian that read “Stop Ecocide.”

After one past performance that saw activists “brutally dragged” from a tennis match during the Citi Open, it was reported that considerable funding for the activists and sister groups like Just Stop Oil and the Sunrise Movement comes from the Climate Emergency Fund. That fund is, in turn, padded by the likes of Abigail Disney, the great niece of Walt Disney, and Getty Oil Company founder J. Paul Getty’s granddaughter Aileen Getty, according to Influence Watch.

Meanwhile, Gov. Luca Zaia of Veneto, the province of Venice, who’d previously shown favor for the exorbitant wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos to Lauren Sanchez for the revenue and attention it would bring, marked the climate activism by Thunberg and her scarf-sporting ilk as a “disrespectful act towards our city, its history and its fragility.”

“It’s a gesture that risks having consequences for the environment,” the governor added and further expressed, “I am even more surprised to see Greta Thunberg among the authors of this useless protest, who clearly aim — more than raising awareness about the environment — to give visibility to themselves.”

Reactions online showed the Swede certainly wasn’t netting fans with her latest stunt as some critiqued the display as “crimes against good taste and beauty,” and others contended, “She’s working hard to get supervillain status.”
