A climate change activist has been sentenced to two years in prison for his involvement in vandalizing the National Archives in Washington, D.C. earlier this year. The activist, along with a co-defendant, was charged with dumping red powder on a case containing the original copy of the U.S. Constitution.
The U.S. District Judge emphasized that the attack did not serve the cause of climate change activism and criticized the act as 'eco-vandalism' that only undermines the efforts of environmental activists. The judge highlighted that such actions could potentially reinforce skepticism towards climate change activism.
