If you thought that climate activists would finally take a break and go on summer holidays, you are sorely mistaken. Every now and then they become active in different parts of the world to constantly remind people about the climate crisis and global warming.

We recently wrote about German activists who are in danger of having their hands amputated after gluing themselves to airport runways. Now we will move on to Spain and Portugal where activists are also keen to use building materials and puncture tyres in the process.

As PAP reports, police statistics from Lisbon show that several hundred wheels on all-terrain vehicles have already been punctured in vacation resorts since June.

The Tyre Extinguishers group is said to be responsible for the damages. Wondering why cars belonging to rich people are to blame? With their "initiative", the eco-activists want to draw attention to the problem of the high carbon dioxide emissions that off-road vehicles are responsible for. According to them, "the use of such vehicles is a vanity that cannot be tolerated today, at a time of climate crisis".

The same group decided to deflate tyres of another 50 SUVs in Berlin on the night of 18 July. Here the activists wanted to draw attention to the problem of creating even more parking spaces for cars instead of developing environmentally neutral paths for cycling.

However, it is not only car wheels that are on target. Eco-activists also aim to obstruct or damage golf courses. In both Spain and Portugal, they are flooding holes on golf courses, damaging the infrastructure of the entire facility in the process. Already at least 10 golf courses were attacked in July because, as Extinction Rebellion group points out, "one such course requires as much water to operate as 10,000 people to live a normal life."

According to the group’s representatives 437 golf courses in Spain consume as much water as cities of Madrid and Barcelona combined. It may seem that the activists are exaggerating, but given the drought and fires Iberian Peninsula is facing, the problem of water availability is not at all trivial.

This is not the end of the activists' actions. As CNN reports, on Sunday 16 July, another environmental group Futuro Vegetal published a video in which activists stand in front of a huge defaced yacht called Kaos supposedly belonging to a billionaire. Futuro Vegetal members spray-painted it and then posed for photos holding a banner that read "You consume – others suffer" and explaining that they damaged Kaos to draw attention to the influence the richest have on climate change and suffering of the poor.

The same activists explained the other day that humanity also cannot afford the luxury of sports cars owned by wealthy people either. They did that by publishing an accompanying video of them dousing a green Lamborghini with red paint.

It is hardly surprising that activists finally turned to making lives of multi-million and billionaires more difficult. After all the richest have more than once shown how unconcerned they are about climate change just to mention Taylor Swift's climate-damaging flights and Kim Kardashian's dismissive attitude to water shortages.
