Climate activists in Norway, the world press informs us, attempted to glue themselves to Edvard Munch”s 1893 painting “The Scream” at a museum in Oslo on Friday.”
Uh Huh. And if they had succeeded in gluing themselves to the painting, what would be the result? They’d be taken off to jail, and the sun, which is just fine, will go on controlling the climate and earthly temperatures as it always does. Where on earth did they get the idea that they somehow needed to be “activists” so somebody would do something about “the climate”?. Where did they get the idea that there is something wrong with the current climate? World temperatures today seem to be just fine, warm in some places, chilly in others, it is after all, November.
If hey had succeeded in gluing themselves to “the Scream” what on earth did they think that would accomplish?Their assumptions are all totally incorrect, Destroying a famous painting would simply put them in jail, influence nobody, and provoke some sort of massive laughter at the screwy ideas some people get.
The climate of the Earth is controlled by the action of the Sun, which seems to be just fine, producing day and night and keeping us warm in late November, with the help of our winter coats. This is, after all, the time of year when many retreat to warmer climates, and others head for the ski hills. Where I grew up in the mountains of Idaho, we might well have had our first snow by now.
How did we reach the point where we have “activists” who assume that making their acts known and notable, they can persuade the world to take unknown actions to control the climate, which we have never known how to “control”. Since it is NOT controllable, we adapt to colder weather by insulating our houses, adding stoves and fireplaces, and wearing warmer coats and sweaters. We are a very adaptable species.
Let’s assume that these “activists” are at least 18 years old, perhaps much older. What can they possibly think they are going to accomplish by gluing themselves to a famous painting? Boggles the mind.
