(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) The far-left heiress of the woke Disney empire was arrested on Friday as she joined a climate-change protest at an airport in Long Island, New York.
Abigail Disney, the granddaughter of Roy O. Disney and self-described patriotic millionaire, protested on the East End of Long Island, alongside other climate-change alarmists, like members of New York Communities for Change, Planet Over Profit and Sunrise Movement NYC, Breitbart reported.
The activists blocked the main entrance of the East Hampton Airport, which serves private jet and charter flights, in Wainscott, N.Y., to challenge its use by the “rich, powerful and privileged.”
The aim was to disrupt the “exclusive vacations of wealthy fossil fuel investors and polluters driving the climate crisis,” they claimed.
“As a person who has been privileged enough to use private jets, I know it’s hard to give up a luxury that is special,” Disney said in her statement. “But I also know that the time has passed for spewing greenhouse gasses like this merely for our personal comfort.”
To support her claims, Disney cited a list of random weather events typically associated with summertime—many of which have been exacerbated by the naturally occurring pattern of warmer temperature El Niño surface waters in the Pacific Ocean, according to the consensus of climate experts.
“The events of the past week alone—with Earth’s average temperature hitting an all-time high, drought and fatal heat waves across the country, floods in Vermont and New York, and ocean temperatures around Florida well over 90 degrees—should remove all doubt once and for all,” she said.
She added that because of her own arbitrary decision to undergo a lifestyle change that will reduce her carbon footprint considerably, every other rich person also should be prevented from using private jets.
“The wealthiest 1% uses as much greenhouse gas as the entire bottom 50%,” she said. “It is time for real change, and this is the most obvious place to start.”
Disney and the other protesters formed a blockade at the main entrance of East Hampton Airport, which serves private and charter flights instead of commercial ones, photos and videos of the incident revealed.
The airport is located in the Hamptons, a wealthy community in eastern Long Island where many celebrities and other rich people live.
“These same rich people farting into the Hamptons on private jets are often the ones who make their money in industries that hugely accelerate the climate crisis,” said Teddy Ogborn, an organizer of Planet Over Profit, who was also arrested at the protest.
“As long as the 1% continues to needlessly poison our air and heat our earth, we will continue to escalate our actions against them,” he added.
