Climate-change activists on Tuesday smeared paint over and glued one of their hands to a glass screen protecting a Gustav Klimt painting in a Vienna museum to protest against oil drilling, on a day when entry was free thanks to an oil company’s sponsorship.

You know why this continues? Because the punishment isnt harsh enough or public so other idiots see it.
These folks would be blind with broken knees on my watch! 🤬😈
How is destroying someone's hard work and probably livinghood going to win over anyone to your side? Sad world
i don't care if it is covered by protective glass or not. this is unacceptable behavior. find a better way to make your voice heard. incredibly disrespectful to the artists, art enthusiast's, and ownership. hopefully the maximum penalty is pursued. there are better avenues for advocating change. shameful is what this is
The mere fact that these people can just walk away from this without being severely beaten is proof that there aren’t enough Nazis in the world.
Great it’s a trend now
Some people just like vandalism and couldn't care less about the environment. Just saying
Brainwashed Marxist puppets, believing in a global scam.
They “exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshipped and served the creation more than the Creator Who is blessed for ever.” Romans 1:25
Clowns. I will continue to litter and burn oil
See I actually have a truck to save gas all you have to do is remove your resonator and your catalytic converter! You get way better gas mileage to make up for the price! It sometimes gives off some dark smoke from the straight pipe and it’s horrible for the environment but thems the breaks when you need to get better gas mileage 😂. I’m sure it’s terrible for the environment but I don’t care I’m already almost 40 so it won’t matter for me hahah
Don’t take it out on the beautiful artwork! Spray paint over the greedy businesses that are contributing to climate destruction!
Awesome. These works of art are all protected by glass so they will not be damaged. Destroying art isn't the point. The point is to draw attention to fossil fuel industry & how it whitewashes its actions. Supporting the arts or donating to some charity isn't going to erase the industry's contribution to climate change. But the changes we make today will ensure we have a tomorrow. Otherwise, destroying buildings, art, etc., will become the norm. Especially when there is no more food left to eat or fresh water to drink. But at least we'll have oil and coal.
Climate terrorists is what they are. Only terrorists destroy things that have nothing to do with the cause.
I've said it once, & now I'm going to say it again: This Millennial generation will be the demise of society as we know it today, & the complete fall of the United States. Mark my words Ppl. If U happen to be alive in the year 2030, U won't even recognize our own atmosphere anymore.
Humanity deserves to burn
Not Klimt 😭😭😭
'glass screen over the artwork'
If no damage occurred, the so called activist should receive a financial penalty fine and be assigned community service hours. How it is, people do things such as this? And see it as an act of protest? Not any idea as to explanation. Rude. Seems rude, to the deceased artist, the history of art, the museum, the art enthusiasts. Seems most people agree, would agree.
Klimt is my second favourite austrian painter
If I was there they would ended up in hospital for a long time.
These climate change activists aren't the most intelligent bunch. Don't they know that by throwing paint everywhere like that they're releasing more toxic chemicals into the atmosphere? They're just ruining the planet more than trying to save it.
2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Not a nice painting anyway 😉 🙂
(0:07) "Was machst Du?" – Well that guard obviously hasn't been sufficient informed yet…
But I'm quite sure, that further live-acts will deliver him the message sooner or later.
