It’s getting even hotter than usual in the Nevada desert during the leadup to the annual, hedonistic (satanic?) Burning Man Festival!
It all started this weekend when a bunch of climate change protesters – or as one Twitter poster humorously described them as “Al Gore climate students” – created a miles-long traffic jam in the desert.
Watch the video footage to see what happened.
The Nevada Rangers called to clean up the disturbance weren’t playing games with the lefty activists.
I don’t mean to get all emotional but I have to admit I’m just a sucker for these heart warming videos

The protesters call themselves eco-activists from the Seven Circles group and Extinction Rebellion.
Reportedly, the handful of demonstrators locked themselves onto a trailer and then used that trailer to block the road.
Their motive?
They were protesting single-use plastic, and the use of private jets by Burning Man Festival attendees.
Yes, it seems the hippies in the desert are protesting the fuel guzzling Gulfstreams and Lear Jet-loving elite hippies like Hollyweird eco-fan boy, actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
But the protest created miles of idling vehicles on the hot desert road.
Now come the Nevada heroes who busted up the roadblock.
It was the Rangers from the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribal Police Department of Nevada.
These brave men drove straight through the blockade and quickly began arresting demonstrators on the road.
The Gateway Pundit posted this from a reporter at the scene:
The climate change activists were arrested.
A Nevada Ranger told a reporter at the scene they received a 911 call saying that someone in the crowd was going to shoot the activists blocking the street.
The activists squealed as the Rangers cuffed them.

But do not feel sorry for the squealing protesters.
Many of these activists are not innocent bystanders, and we all must remember what these “eco-terrorists” are capable of doing in the name of “saving the environment”.
Protected 'peaceful protest' does NOT include erecting dangerous barriers across a public highway.
The same mentality drove activists to implant steel spikes in trees destined to be used for lumber; clearly indifferent to the risk of death and serious injury to lumber workers.— Phoeli𝕏 (@sunmynd) August 28, 2023
It’s the glaring hypocrisy of these “rules for thee but not for me” folks who claim to be far too busy, and too important to take any form of transportation other than a private jet to take them from important climate change conferences to their holidays at beachfront resorts.
Just imagine one of them driving a Tesla to the Nevada festival. Hahaha – they would never get there.
Simply the amount of time and effort that would be required to charge an electric vehicle for such a long and hot road trip would be too daunting for them.
Just ask the CEO of Ford who tried to road trip with Ford’s new EV pickup truck.
Claiming to “be green” ain’t easy.
