Climate activist Greta Thunberg has been told she is not welcome in Venice after activists dyed the historic Grand Canal green

Greta Thunberg has been banned from Venice after the historic Grand Canal was dyed green.

The harmless green dye was poured into the historic waterway by Greta and Extinction Rebellion activists. They were reacting to Italy’s opposition to including fossil fuel restrictions in a deal agreed to at the United Nations climate summit on Friday in Brazil.

The actions landed the 22 year old campaigner with a 48-hour ban from the city and a £131 fine. Another 35 activists, who were mainly from Italy, were handed the same fine and ban. The latest action against Greta comes after she was deported from Isreal for taking part in a Gaza-bound aid flotilla last month.
