Climate action group deflate tyres of SUV ‘gas guzzlers’ in Dublin southside

The group left detailed notes for the affected drivers explaining their actions.

"We did this because driving around urban areas in your massive vehicle has huge consequences for others. Car companies try to convince us we need massive cars. But SUVs and 4x4s are a disaster for our climate. SUVs are the second-largest cause of global rise in carbon dioxide emissions over the past decade - more than the entire aviation industry."

"According to the UN, millions of people are already dying from climate change-related causes - drought, hurricanes, floods, forced migration, starvation. So far, the impacts on you have probably been minimal. We need emergency action to reduce emissions immediately. We're taking actions into our own hands because our governments and politicians will not."
