Greta Thunberg, 21, was detained twice in The Hague after joining protesters blocking roads against Dutch fossil fuel subsidies. She stressed the urgency of the climate crisis, stating it's a "planetary emergency." Demonstrators targeted companies benefiting from such subsidies. Despite heavy police presence, some managed to block roads. Thunberg's activism emphasizes preventing climate refugees and saving lives. The Extinction Rebellion group organized the protest, initially aimed at blocking a main road. Thunberg's detention underscores ongoing global activism for climate action amid governmental inertia.
