Activists from environmental group Futuro Vegetal posted a video showing them standing in front of the superyacht named Kaos, holding a banner that read, “You consume, others suffer.” The activists then spray-painted the ship with red and black paint.

Sharm el Sheik (COP27) is surrounded by dangerous places that no sane person would sail through in a private luxury yacht. Even the Persian Gulf and the United Arab Emirates, where the upcoming COP28 will be held, have problems with piracy. At times, Iranian forces board passing ships for allegedly random reasons, a problem that could be exacerbated if Iran experiences a sustained deterioration in its economic position.
And of course, who would want to come to an event like the annual WEF public transport conference in Davos?
I guess time will tell if climate amateurs who own private jets and allegedly provide much of the funding to these groups threaten to withdraw those funds if their personal toys break.
