“If we organize, we can hit enough SUVs in particular neighborhoods to spark reporting and spread the metameme,” it added.
The group also told its followers to “start by targeting wealthy areas – our goal isn’t to disrupt workers – and avoid targeting vehicles with disabled stickers or hangers.”
It said that deflating the tires of SUVs — which are playing a large role in carbon emissions, it argued — also would “hurt the automotive industry where it hurts.”
Adbusters, whose goal is a “total reinvention of the cultural and political playbook,” argued that climate change is the “biggest crisis we’ve faced as a species, and we are failing the test at every step.”
The nonprofit insisted that “it’s time for us to carefully escalate our methods in a non-violent manner to convey the seriousness of this crisis in tangible ways.”
Adbusters did not immediately respond to a request for comment by The Post.
Some Twitter users slammed the pro-environment group for its radical tactic — arguing it is dangerous.
“Of course you are aware that if the wife doesn’t notice an intentionality partially deflated tire, gets on the highway, winds up blowing a tire from being overheated, the vehicle could easily roll,” one critic wrote.
“I predict a lot of ‘a car thief was shot’ news stories if you actually do this,” another person warned.
The tweet has not been taken down but Twitter’s terms of service warn members that “they may not engage in the targeted harassment of someone, or incite other people to do so.”
“We consider abusive behavior an attempt to harass, intimidate, or silence someone else’s voice,” the platform says.
