Climate and anti-capitalist activists blocked a road leading to Burning Man, creating gridlock and leading to clashes with motorists and tribal rangers.
The effects of global warming will inevitably unfold over the next two to three decades, experts say. What happens beyond that depends on actions today.Another clip shows a ranger’s truck blasting through the barricade with its sirens and lights sounding through the desert. An announcement comes over a truck’s PA system telling demonstrators, “I’m gonna take all of you out, you better move.” An official then gets out of the truck with a gun drawn, yelling at protesters to “get down now.
The protesters do not appear to be armed, with demonstrators repeatedly saying they are “nonviolent.”It is unclear when officers were called, how many people were arrested or why an officer pulled a gun on what appear to be unarmed protesters. Officials with Pyramid Lake did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Jonathan Brunjes, deputy administrator with Nevada State Parks, confirmed that the responding officers were not Nevada state park angers or state of Nevada employees.
