The Tyre Extinguishers stated, 'If SUVs were a country they'd be the 5th biggest world polluter.' With over 360m SUVs on the roads in 2023, they produced 1bn tonnes of CO2, contributing significantly to global oil demand growth, with a rise of 600,000 barrels per day. This clearly indicates their substantial impact on the environment and climate crisis.'
In response to the Valencia floods, climate activists in Edinburgh took action, defacing SUVs and stating, 'SUVs targeted in solidarity with Valencia climate victims.' Their actions aimed to draw attention to the role of these vehicles in exacerbating climate change, leading to catastrophic weather events like the recent floods in Spain.'
Priya, an activist involved in the Edinburgh protest, emphasized the group's commitment by saying, 'We won't stop until these death machines are off our roads.' Her statement underscores the determination of climate activists to hold accountable the contributors to climate destruction through aggressive actions against SUV vehicles.'
