A raging driver came out of his car to drag one of the eight climate protesters off the road. The man can be seen lifting the activist by the neck in a brutal attempt to get him out of the road. He eventually throws him onto bushes in the motorway’s median strip.As the driver pushed the activist onto fir trees, he ordered the protester: “Sit down!”If you get out of here, you’ll see, I’ll beat the s**t out of you!” As other protesters refused to stand up and blockaded the road, the man shouted: “Get out of the way, f******!”After the driver’s attempt to get the climate protesters out of the road, French police intervened around 6:30 pm.

But today we only have 880 days left if we want to keep the world livable. So that’s why I’m here! If I don’t do it, who will? I’m sorry to block these people, I don’t enjoy being here. But I’ve tried other ways before and they didn’t work,” she added.READ MORE: Ferrari slams ‘brainwashed’ Just Stop Oil spokesperson – ‘It’s a cult’ Climate activists were dragged away from the road one by one (Image: TWITTER/@derniere_renov) A police officer drags a climate activist off the road (Image: TWITTER/@derniere_renov)This was the third action taken by Dernière Renovation (Last Renovation).The protesters demanded President Macron adopt an ambitious plan to better isolate buildings by 2040, the first step towards a significant reduction of France’s carbon emissions.”Eight citizens were taken into custody, the blockade on the highway lasted 40 minutes,” Dernière Renovation reported. The road blockades triggered mixed reactions on Twitter. DON’T MISS:Just Stop Oil protesters blasted as ‘time wasting professionals’ [REPORT]  Eco mob strikes again with 31 activists blockading major junction [REPORT]  Just Stop Oil protesters blasted as ‘time wasting professionals’ [REPORT]   Dernière Renovation staged the sit-in on the outskirts of Paris (Image: TWITTER/@derniere_renov)@DimitriMaraine said: “An impactful advertising campaign with international visibility.
