Climate Protestors Thrown Out Of New York Auto Show After Oiling Ford F-150 Lightning

Climate activists protested the New York Auto Show, claiming that EVs don't do enough to address climate change

Climate protestors were dragged out of the New York International Auto Show after pouring liquid on the floor and onto an electric Ford F-150 Lightning. The group behind the action, Extinction Rebellion, says that EVs don't do enough to avert a climate disaster. The group claims it is not protesting automotive enthusiasts but, instead, the infrastructure decisions that mean millions of Americans have no choice but to buy cars and drive.

The group claims that EVs don't address the fundamental problems of the transportation industry, and replaces one wasteful means of transportation with another. Extinction Rebellion claims that manufacturing EVs still requires enormous amounts of natural resources like steel, the production of which is responsible for 11 percent of global CO2 emissions. https://youtu.be/40R3ZRKzQKk While some automakers are investing in green steel, progress is slow.
