These people truly are nuts. Hey, I wonder how they got to the museum? Fossil fueled travel? Where did their clothes, shoes, smartphones, glue, and soup come from? How did it get to them?

Environmental protesters on Friday threw tomato soup over Vincent van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” painting at the National Gallery in central London, videos posted on social media showed.
Just Stop Oil said in a statement that two protesters threw two cans of Heinz Tomato soup over the painting at 11:00 a.m. (6 a.m. Eastern) to demand that the U.K. government halt all new oil and gas projects.
In a tweet, the activist group blamed the current economic turmoil and the climate crisis facing the world on fossil fuels, asking: “Is art worth more than life? More than food?”
Funny how they never destroy something that’s their own, eh?
London’s Metropolitan Police said officers arrested the two protesters for criminal damage and aggravated trespass after they “threw a substance over a painting” at the gallery on London’s Trafalgar Square.
BBC News said the the gallery had confirmed that the painting was covered by glass, so it wasn’t damaged.
Do they truly think this will get people on their side? Move casual Warmists to extremists? Or, will it just drive them away?
