“The movement have now deflated tyres on around 9,000 SUVs in cities across the world since March, striking continuously, and look set to surpass their goal of 10,000 SUVs deflated by Christmas,” the statement added.

The group has said its aim is “to make it impossible to own an SUV in the world’s urban areas”, condemning the vehicles as “unnecessary ‘luxury emissions’, flaunted by the wealthy, that are a climate disaster, cause air pollution and make our roads more dangerous”.

    The book “how to blow up a pipeline” which was this websites book recommendation last month advocates for this exact action, and similar action in Sweden in 2019 proved effective in reducing SUV sales. You can denigrate the action as much as you’d like, doesn’t change the fact that it has worked.

      Not trying to provoke, but is there, like, quantitative evidence to support that inference? I'd be skeptical to leap to that conclusion (re effect on SUV sales)
