Climate activists have once again shown their disregard for order and beauty as they smeared red paint on a Claude Monet painting and glued themselves to it in an attention-seeking stunt. The painting in question is “The Artist’s Garden at Giverny,” which shows the beauty of nature. Yet, these radical activists seem to think they can stop climate change by destroying a Monet. They have no sense at all!

According to Sweden’s National Museum, two women were responsible for this disgraceful act. They even made cultlike statements claiming that the pandemic was nothing compared to the climate collapse and that banning peat mining and restoring the wetlands would save humanity. How exactly smearing paint on an iconic painting helps the climate remains a mystery.
Two women were detained in Stockholm after they threw “some kind of paint" at a painting by French artist Claude Monet and then glued themselves to the frame, Sweden's National Museum said on Wednesday.https://t.co/wsoMdHndq0 pic.twitter.com/TP54p60DrC

Sure, they’re narcissists. But they’re also legitimately rotten people who’ve convinced themselves they’re heroes. https://t.co/SXNVsWrViJ

You couldn't singlehandedly destroy the environmental movement quicker if you tried. https://t.co/gsLaXdp7LE

This is so damn clownish and counterproductive. It’s not helping anything or bringing critical awareness to climate change. It’s activist narcissism that repels people away from the issue. https://t.co/bRjgPgHdPv

This kind of behavior not only destroys art but also turns people, even those who sympathize with the climate crisis, against the activists. Videos of this mindless act have gone viral with many on the left condemning their actions.
Fortunately, the museum had glass over the painting, so it was not damaged. Nevertheless, questions about the involvement of museum personnel have been raised. The officials condemned the action, stating that they naturally distance themselves from such actions where art or cultural heritage risks being damaged regardless of the purpose.
The most prominent news outlet, the AP, also got the story wrong as they claimed that the activists threw paint at the painting. That’s unacceptable for such a news outlet!
Perhaps the museum should take drastic measures, such as shutting off the lights and leaving these activists glued to the painting overnight. They need to be taught that actions have consequences.
