Guest September 27, 2019 (edited) Unbelievable.That'll show 'em. Some sugar cane derivative on a global landmark of art. ''Let's free The Louvre'' by making it dirty for a few hours. Brilliant. https://uk.reuters.com/article/us-climate-change-activists-paris/activists-daub-louvres-pyramid-with-molasses-in-anti-total-protest-idUKKBN1WC1SF PARIS (Reuters) - Environmental activists daubed the Louvre’s glass pyramid with thick molasses on Friday in protest at what they said were the environmentally-damaging activities of museum sponsor Total, a multinational oil and gas company. Clad in black, the activists belonging to “Liberons le Louvre” (Let’s Free the Louvre) plastered dirty hand-prints over the museum’s famed 70-foot-high glass-and-steel pyramid, a much-loved Paris landmark, as tourists gazed on. Total has been a Louvre sponsor in past years, the museum said on its website, including support for renovations to the Apollo Gallery and the creation of an Islamic arts department. They dipped their hands into bags of molasses - a black treacle that results from refining sugar cane - before smearing it over the structure to denounce what they called “the dirty hands” of Total. “The handprints on the Pyramid can be cleaned away easily, whereas the environmental footprint left by Total is not as easy to clean”, said Victoire, a member of the collective. Another member, Kester Lovelse, told Reuters: “A cultural institution should not be receiving money from a multinational company that continues to endanger the climate, pollute the climate and leave such a dirty environmental footprint on the earth.” “Even if we are not the main patron of the Louvre, we are proud to support the initiatives of this emblematic institution,” Total said in a statement to Reuters. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - EDIT - Then all these people drove home to their houses full of oil based products.

Douglas Buckland + 6,308 September 28, 2019 And in other news, members of Liberons de Louvre were sprayed with tar and dipped in large bags of feathers to protest their stupidity, lack of common sense and adolescent behavior. Good Samaritans have offered to sandblast the tar and feathers off of the activists.... 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest September 28, 2019 Yes I believe I've brought up the Amish before haha... Until you become Amish, I have no time for this hypocrisy. And even if you are, it gives you no right to vandalise a global landmark. You can just say oil plays no part in your life. I'm just bored of who these people say are bad, while China and India are pumping shit up into the sky all day everyday and no one says a word. Like that brat from Sweden.

PINGFan + 52 September 28, 2019 Hundreds were protesting global warming in Calgary yesterday, many were students who were encouraged by their teachers to attend (according to the students attending) we had some snow yesterday even thought the historical average daytime high is +15 degrees C. This videos shows them protesting with their single use plastics from places like Starbucks. Amazing these protesters/students still don't understand what the oil sector provided to Alberta and they protest against the hand that feeds them. Here is the video of them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vVVZNooFXg It only got to 4.3C yesterday in Calgary yesterday. It is -3C right now with a high of -1C today and we are expected to get snow today and tomorrow with a low of -10C on Monday nights forecast. https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/weather/alberta/calgary Here is a good blog/forum talking about this topic if anyone is interested in reading. There are some good comments on it. http://www.smalldeadanimals.com/index.php/2019/09/28/is-constructive-energy-dialogue-even-possible-when-activists-seek-to-destroy-the-fuel-that-keeps-7-billion-people-alive/#comments 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The absolute worst polluters don't even get criticized (China, India). Greta was here criticizing Justin Trudeau yesterday, telling the hypocrite that he hasn't done enough, and of course he agrees with her. He must have flow over to Montreal to march in the climate protest for his election campaign. He flies all over the world and still preaches to us that we have to do better and then brings in a carbon tax. https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/greta-thunberg-to-attend-montreals-climate-strike-while-protests-erupt-cross-country Edited September 28, 2019 by PINGFan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest September 28, 2019 (edited) It's just a joke. No one seems to mention this brat in terms of ''sorry? wtf are you doing here?'' Don't people get the paid for agenda going on here?! Trudeau agrees. LOL. Just amazing. I loved Trump's ''well she seems like a happy girl'' tweet and just blanking her. You should be in school. Educate yourself about oil and Earth's climate history. I've nothing against thinking of the planet a little more, but to be told it by people whose houses are full of oil based items and a car on the driveway is just hilarious. Tweeting away, FBing away... zzz, on a phone that just grew like a potato apparently. ''You've stolen my dreams!'' - this gets moronic applause?? This is the world we live in. World leaders clapping this. Think about that. Who has? What dreams that you had have been affected here? Have China not affected your dreams? Did they get a ''how dare you!'' that again got moronic applause. No it's all Trump and Europe. Silly me. Get back to school and learn something.

I'd love to know how much she is being paid she is for her activism. The green movement is big business that can't get by without HUGE tax payer subsidies and the only way they can get those is to demonize the oil industry so that tax payers feel it is necessary. It is absolutely pathetic how they are using a mentally ill teenager for their cause now and many feel it is her parents that stole her dreams. Unfortunately the schools now teach kids like her that protesting about climate change is good and it is ok to miss class to protest. Malena Ernman (Greta's mom) goes shopping in the video below. I think this shows where Greta learns her behaviour. There was a video entitled Greta's mom goes shopping, but it seems to have been removed from youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTb_aO0TmZg I loved Trumps response as well. Have you seen this Hello Greta my old friend video...Where Trump snubs her to the sound of silence. It fits it perfectly, also the amounts of thumbs up compared to thumbs down I think shows how most feel about her. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxNjLuifZD8&list=LLOkxnvdApubvxaT2X1tsBKg&index=25&t=0s 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest September 28, 2019 It's funny but also really sad. The kid on the far right is barely old enough to even say climate 'change' , let alone know what it means. They had to change from global warming to 'climate change' as they got confused which way it's going. LOL global warming, all but one in a hat and stood in snow. ''We have a solution, stop pollution''. This is the first thing that comes up when you Google 'China pollution' High levels of air pollution in China's cities caused to 350,000-400,000 premature deaths. Another 300,000 died because of indoor air of poor quality. There were 60,000 premature deaths each year because of water of poor quality. ... China has made some improvements in environmental protection during recent years. (wooh, well done). STOP THIS FOR A KICK OFF? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

China has made some improvements in environmental protection during recent years. (wooh, well done). STOP THIS FOR A KICK OFF? It is sad when you think that these kids are being indoctrinated at such a young age and used for political purposes. I could definitely see wanting to cut back on actual pollution like in China. That is what they should be focusing on, not carbon dioxide. They should switch to natural gas power plants instead of coal, that would cut down on a lot of their air pollution/smog. The only person I know of that can apparently see carbon dioxide is Greta. I'd bet that many of the global warming activists would like to eliminate carbon dioxide completely or bring it down to unsafe levels where plants are stressed and will no longer be able to support life. Apparently the atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were 5 times higher when the dinosaurs were alive than what they are today. https://www.livescience.com/44330-jurassic-dinosaur-carbon-dioxide.html I would like to see oil companies find ways to put better scrubbers or filters on what gets vented into the atmosphere to reduce smog. Having worked in some of these plants and refineries they do smell bad and I am sure that is unhealthy and you can see a haze in the air around them. I don't know if it is possible, but it would be nice. Some can even make your eyes water just driving past them. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love how her look of hope turns to a scowl as well. It looks like she is thinking "YES, I am finally going to scold him about climate change" and Trump acts like she doesn't even exist LOL. I bet her handler had schooled her in what she was going to say to him. Smart move by Trump, what a BOSS. Apparently her handler is Luisa Marie-Nuebauer and she is with One Foundation who is funded by Bono, Bill and Melinda Gates, and GEORGE SOROS. https://www.tigerdroppings.com/rant/politics/meet-greta-thunbergs-handler-luisa-marie-nuebauer/85564350/ Thanks. I haven't seen that one yet. She really didn't know what to say and seemed very unsure of herself without a script and just tried passing the questions on to others. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There' It is happening here in Canada now as well. We are in the middle of our federal election and Trudeau just met with Greta in Montreal. She scolded him about the climate and he agreed with her. Meanwhile he flies all over the world on vacations. The guy probably flies more than an Air Canada pilot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_prime_ministerial_trips_made_by_Justin_Trudeau I agree, it is horrible that they are using children for propaganda and politics. Like others have said, Hitler used children for propaganda as well. I do follow a lot of American politics. I watch a lot of Mark Dice videos on Youtube and I do like Tucker Carlson. At least you still have some good patriots in the U.S. like Jim Jordan. I loved the Cory Lewandowski questioning. He made me laugh. At least there are now some minorities sticking up for Trump, like this guy here from That's the Point with Brandon. He is the one that called Chis Cuomo "Fredo". https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVT2XddlO4Hxb2fe4dVGrIQ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
