Climate activists dye Iconic Trevi Fountain black to demand end to fossil fuel subsidies after deadly floods

Seven activists poured diluted charcoal into the Trevi Fountain in Rome to protest against climate change and link recent floods to global warming.
The climate activists called for an immediate halt to public subsidies for fossil fuels,especially after floods killed at least 14 people in Northern Italy's Emilia-Romagna region.
The protest and fountain cleanup disrupted the iconic monument and required replacing 300,000 liters of water.
Rome's mayor condemned the protest but climate activists argue drastic action is needed to spur government action on climate change.
The protest was the latest in a string of disruptive climate protests targeting artistic treasures, as young protesters demand immediate action.
