    To draw attention to the climate crisis because direct action against those responsible tends to be met with a media blackout, and they need to prompt conversation to get the public on-side.

    You think a painting will be relevant when we wipe out the majority of life on earth?

      Yeah?

      Look at all the art we dig up from ancient Rome and even cave paintings that tell us so much about humanity and our history.

      In 1000-2000 years after society collapses from climate change and archeology gets back in business finding these paintings and other artworks will be incredibly important.

        The fall of an empire is not the same as the literal apocalypse - it’s important that you understand that.

        I don’t value billions of people’s lives and the existence of tens of thousands of species over wiping some soup off a pane of glass (not even the fucking painting), and find it disturbing that you appear to.
