In a demonstration alongside other climate campaigners, the Disney heiress said “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,”
She continued “But I also know that the time has passed for spewing greenhouse gasses like this merely for our personal comfort.”
What Fox News said was as follows:
The Disney fortune’s heiress, Abigail Disney, was arrested in New York City on Friday. She and a group of environmentalists were detained for preventing arrivals and departures at a private jet airport.
In the action, intended to protest and interrupt the ““exclusive vacations of wealthy fossil fuel investors and polluters driving the climate crisis,” members of New York Communities for Change, Planet Over Profit, and Sunrise Movement NYC joined Disney. The local East Hampton Airport in Wainscott, New York, was blocked off by the protesters.
“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,” In a statement on Friday, Disney stated. “But I also know that the time has passed for spewing greenhouse gasses like this merely for our personal comfort.”
“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 added. “The wealthiest 1% uses as much greenhouse gas as the entire bottom 50%. It is time for real change and this is the most obvious place to start.”
