Seven unhinged young climate activists staged another protest by pouring diluted charcoal into the iconic Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy, turning its pristine waters black.
The demonstration, which took place on Sunday, aimed to draw attention to address the ‘global environmental crisis.’
Protesters from the “Ultima Generazione” (“Last Generation”) organization chanted, “Our country is dying” and held banners reading, “We won’t pay for fossil (fuels).
Many tourists watched as police officers entered the water to remove the protesters, and some even hurled insults at the protesters.

The Last Generation climate activists are funded by the Climate Emergency Fund in the US.
The conservative Welt am Sonntag newspaper revealed in late 2022 that the Last Generation paid its activists up to 1,300 Euros per month. It is the Climate Emergency Fund in the United States that provides the funding, while the Berlin-based “Wandelbündnis” organization handles the distribution of the funds.
Last week, the German district court proclaimed the “Last Generation” a criminal organization.
