Greenpeace activists carried out a demonstration at President Donald Trump's Turnberry golf resort in South Ayrshire, Scotland. Three campaigners placed six mock wind turbines on the fourth hole green of the prestigious golf course. The action was intended to highlight the potential for renewable energy development and to criticize the environmental impact of the golf course while calling for greater action on climate change. Greenpeace stated that the protest aimed to draw attention to the contrast between fossil fuel reliance and the benefits of clean energy. Local authorities and resort staff responded to the incident, and the activists were eventually removed from the premises. The demonstration comes amid ongoing debates about climate policy and the environmental footprint of large golf resorts. No injuries were reported, and the golf course sustained no permanent damage from the temporary installation. This event underscores the continued activism by environmental groups targetin
