British climate change activists smashed the office windows of two news outlets on Tuesday to protest their coverage of the nation’s unprecedented heat wave.
Members of Extinction Rebellion targeted London’s News UK building, which publishes the Sun and the Times. They broke some of its entrance windows and put up newspaper cutouts of their “cheery” front pages as well as posters reading “40 degrees = death,” according to the Guardian.
Examples of that coverage included the Sun’s headline that read “Hotter than the Sahara” with a photo of people at the beach.
The Evening Standard reported that five people were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.
