Dark money fund poured millions of dollars into eco activist groups blocking highways, destroying famous art

FIRST ON FOX: Climate protesters worldwide who have staged high-profile disruptive actions on public streets and in museums received a massive uptick in funding, tax filings showed.

"Climate Emergency Fund is proud to support some of the boldest, bravest climate activists in the world who are not just fighting but are winning," Margaret Klein Salamon, CEF's executive director, told Fox News Digital in a statement. "Throughout history, organized, passionate, and dedicated people have awakened the public's conscience to injustice and achieved change that was once considered impossible." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"That’s why the Climate Emergency Fund supports activist organizations that engage in non-violent protest and civil disobedience worldwide," she said. "We are experiencing global catastrophic climate events, and they are accelerating – from the months-long summer heat waves in Europe to record-low levels of Antarctic sea ice to ocean temperatures that topped 100 degrees off the coast of Florida."
