Two of the hottest attractions in the Big Apple Thursday night – the US
Open and the Coach Fashion Week show – were disrupted by idiotic displays
of protest.

At Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, four climate activists created a scene
when they began shouting from the stands during the highly anticipated
women’s tennis semifinal match between American Coco Gauff and Czech
Karolina Muchova around 8 p.m.

Play was halted for roughly 50 minutes as agitated fans — and even Gauff — demanded the unruly protesters, wearing matching “End Fossil Fuels” T-
shirts, be removed from the arena.

During the stoppage in play, the crowd began chanting, “Kick them out!
Kick them out!”

“Three of the four protesters were escorted out of the stadium without
further incident,” the USTA said in a statement.

But one of them took his demonstration to the next level — by gluing his
bare feet to the floor of the seating bowl.

“Due to the nature of this action, NYPD and medical personnel were needed
in order to safely remove this individual from the stadium,” the USTA
said.

The four protesters were taken into police custody.

“There’s no doubt in a 24,000-seat stadium people get ideas. We know environmental protestors use the platform (of events like this). Certainly security will be resuming – along with law enforcement – to see what we
can do to prevent it in the future,” USTA chief executive Stacey Allaster
told ESPN.

Around the same time as the US Open shenanigans, a naked animal rights
activist stormed onto the catwalk at the Coach fashion show at the New
York Public Library’s Main branch in Manhattan.

Wearing nothing but bodypaint with “Coach: Leather Kills” etched across
her chest, the PETA demonstrator was closely followed on the stage by a
second protester, who was clothed and carrying a sign displaying the same message.

Both women had made it nearly to the end of the runway when they were
whisked away by security.

Sources told Page Six that Anna Wintour was in attendance during the
antics.

The nude woman was made to look as if she had been skinned, with her
“flesh,” “tendons” and “muscle” exposed, PETA said in a press release.

“Today’s conscientious consumers know that the future of fashion lies in innovative vegan materials, not in cows’ sliced-off skin,” the group’s Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in a statement.

“PETA is shaking up Coach’s catwalk to drive home the message that leather belongs in the annals of history, not in designers’ current collections,”
added Reiman.

The Earth is 4.6 billion years old. In that time, countless atmospheric climate variations have pummeled the Earth. Tectonic plates diverge, transform, or converge, creating subduction zones resulting in volcanoes
and earthquakes altering the planet. The magnetic poles reverse over and
over, and asteroids crash into the Earth. Solar output varies with time. Gravitational influences by forces of the Moon, neighboring planets, and distant galaxies subtly affect the overall climate on Earth. Humanity has populated the Earth only an infinitesimal fraction of the Earth’s
existence. The industrialized age was only a microsecond of geological duration and had a negligible impact on Earth’s overall climate. Climate cycles, on a geologic time scale of hundreds, thousands, or millions of
years, will never be changed, influenced, or mitigated by human
intervention.

"Last February it was 20 degrees. Yesterday it was 100 degrees. That's
over a 90 degree temperature swing in only a few months! How can you deny
that there is global climate change? It's not me saying this - its
science!" AOC
