Climate terrorists attacked a fundraising event for the Natural History Museum in Manhattan, New York.

Extinction Rebellion members were seen disrupting the American Natural History Museum's event called 'Spring Lunch: Science, Society, and Our Environment' on April 17.

Footage shows the young protesters including 14-year-old Avery Tsai interrupting the fundraiser in an action which they called 'an aim to draw attention to the urgent climate crisis'.

The group said they wanted the museums to prioritise climate education and awareness to address 'climate catastrophe facing humanity'.

It said every visitor leaving the museum should have 'a deep understanding of the urgent environmental challenges'.

Despite the museum's climate exhibit being located in the basement and spanning approximately fifty feet, the protesters argued that more must be done to make the climate emergency a focal point of the institution.

Tsai said: 'This is the greatest natural history museum in the world. Why isn't it clear that it's all under threat? Why isn't the climate emergency front and centre?'

The protesters said that 'with climate disasters becoming increasingly common, it is imperative for institutions like the American Natural History Museum to take a proactive role in educating the public about the pressing environmental issues of our time'.

Followers of the climate agenda have resorted to increasingly aggressive public attacks in recent years - often using violence and intimidation to cause chaos on roads, at events and in art galleries.

The Oxford Languages dictionary defines a terrorist as 'a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims'.
