From the DailyWire:
Giant, Climate-Killing Mural Of Greta Thunberg Now Graces Downtown San Francisco
A massive mural of teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is going up on a building in downtown San Francisco in an effort to force citizens of the Bay Area to think critically about their contribution to global climate change.
…
“I think It’s a very important mission to try to awake some citizens that they are wasting a lot of energy and resources for no reason, and I think it’s very important to try to help in a way,” he told TIME magazine. “People need to know about these things.”
“I usually don’t paint political stuff, because it kind of gives you people who will love it and people who will hate it,” Cobre added. “But this one I think was really important.”
If Cobre truly intended to “help” the cause of battling climate change, though, he might have jettisoned his preferred medium, aerosol spray paint. The 60-by-30 mural is expected to require hundreds of the climate-killing color to complete.
OneAtmopshere.org is supplying the paint, and would only admit to the artist using around 133 cans, which they say Cobre plans to repurpose into a sculpture to prevent the highly toxic items from ending up in a landfill. But The Blaze reports that a similar, smaller mural by the same artist took more than 500 cans to complete. The Thunberg mural will likely take closer to 700 cans to finish.
Just think of all the propellant CFC’s released, which we are told have tremendous GHG potentials as much as 7000 times that of CO2 and contributes to Ozone layer loss. Oh, the ironing!
Meanwhile, parodies of the mural are emerging.

The real “deniers”: That this is anything other than a cult.
Very fitting choice of mural to watch over the drug-addled homeless pooping. Bottoms up.
This is your brain on climate alarm.
Climatephobia is addictive. Just say No!

Hey, she could replace Tony the Tiger in Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes commercials. She’s ggrrrrrrRREAT!
Big Sister is watching you.
First thing I thought of when I saw it.

Odd, how Socialists the world over always seem to fall back on the same imagery and memes.
~¿~
The first thing I thought of was:
I lift my eyes beside the golden gate,
Give me your money, your SUV’s
Your wretched straws teeming on shores.
Send all these, for carbon credits,
How dare you not – before it’s too late.
(apologies to Emma Lazarus)
Oh how I hope some intrepid ‘tagger” gives her a Hitler moustache.
Jim,
How about a Little Red Book and morph her into Chairgirl/Chairteen Mao.
It is a sure sign of moral bankruptcy when a society assigns superior knowledge and insight to a brainwashed 16-year-old child. A new Personality Cult is born.
I Know What You Did Last Summer (What Greta Wouldn’t Approve).

The promotion of St. Greta continues without shame. The poor kid now probably thinks she is a global player in the climate wars. I even have a few friends and acquaintances sending me quotes of her sayings. I am not sure if they are being coy and facetious with me, or whether they actually believe it. She is being made into a folk hero, without having actually done much about anything except rallying the kids to skip school every Friday. I would have agreed with that policy too when I was a kid.
I feel a bit sorry for her as she doesn’t have the full understanding of science to actually make an informed decision about the complexity of AGW or even just plain old climate variation. I can only hope she actually takes up climate science as her calling in life and discovers that the path she was taken on by her handlers and parents was a political one and not a scientific one. If she really wishes us to listen to the science, then I suggest that she also listen to the science and explain why there are thousands of scientists including a lot of climate scientists that say the science is being misrepresented by a handful of high profile scientists and political spin masters like Al Gore or Micheal Mann. So far, there is little evidence in the weather or the 30 year climate trend that humans are causing much climate disruption, as compared to natural climate variation.
It’s gonna end in a crash. It is inevitable. Sorry but that’s what the media and ideologues do to children.
…she doesn’t have the ANY understanding of science…
AN OPEN LETTER TO GRETA THUNBERG
You are not a moral leader. But I will tell you what you are. Prof Jason D Hill

Coram Deo
Jason D hill wrote a very detailed letter, and I agree with all if it..
I disagreed with, “It is a civilization that eradicated diseases such as small pox from the word.”
Smallpox is, so far, the only complete global eradication. But it is thought that it won’t be on its own for much longer….

I think the photo used in this linked article sums Nordic Thanos’s lack of self awareness very well.
The girl is wearing three layers of hood.
That is two more layers of hood than I have ever needed in my entire life, a fact that in itself clearly suggests that Greta’s little corner of self invented climate destruction can safely survive two full hoods worth of warming.
Seriously. Does not this person realise that some children DREAM of being able to go outside without having to don multiple hoods?
Honestly Greta, HOW DARE YOU!
CTM, Anthony,
I second Bob Tidale’s request to publish this JD-Hill “Open Letter to Greta” here at WUWT. Worth a full exposure to a wider audience.
What Greta is proposing is vile to rationale thought. It needs to be exposed at every turn.

Little Sister is watching.
How was that paint made and how much energy did it take?
What petroleum products are in it plus the solvents to clean the rollers/brushes?
How much fuel did it take to transport it from the factory to the vendor and then to the site?
Did the artist eat cheeseburgers and fries?
Will San Gran ban heavy equipment when the next quake hits?
Give me some Benjamin Moore (I’ll provide the climbing gear) and touch it up!
AGW has turned into a Doomsday Cult. They are eagerly waiting for the return of Comet Hale-Bopp.
That would scare the hair off a cat.
BIG SISTER IS WATCHING YOU.
She is the little annoying sister always under your feet, always nagging and whining. All you want to is “drop kick” her out on the street! Problem is mum is watching your every move.
😐 This has to be the stupidest thing I’ve seen this week.. Think of the hard working citizens who have to see her vile face everyday 😢
Ive been saying it a lot and will continue to say that, we need factual speaking scientists to break in to the main news media stage, if vile greta and Mr broccoli can get such publicity then we can as well.. Why can’t we protest or ask to be on television? Ask, ask and keep on asking until we are heard…
The scientists have been cowed into silence on their campuses by the PC Gestapo. Only few, like Cliff Mass with tenure and grants, even dare to oppose the climate alarmist rhetoric. When they do they get reprisals from their department chairs and Deans worried about funding and attacks from the Lunatic Left enforcers. Who wants their offices stormed by those nuts? Padlocking themselves to your office furniture in sit-ins. Disrupting your classes with protests? Instead of standing-up to the bullies, the Left-leaning professors cowered and caved-in.
And it is not just climate related. Dr Jordan Peterson at University of Ottawa became a focal point of the Left’s ire when he refused to bow down before Trudeau’s LGBTQ speech police. That has only backfired on them by raising public awareness of the suppression of free speech movement that is on-going across all of North American campuses.
Joel O’bryan
That’s what shocks me, that universities, colleges even schools are falling for the climate scam, even though it threatens to destroy their own nations economies and way of life…
People in general aren’t very intelligent in a crowd or as a collective. These particular people relied too heavily on state sponsored “education” and never learned critical thinking skills, thus are prone to groupthink and fall for charismatic figures who they perceive as authoritative, i.e Bill Nye. This is a recipe for classic cult behavior.
It’s not that left-leaning professors cowered and caved-in, Joel. It’s that left-leaning professors instigated, encouraged, supported and sometimes joined in.
Those left-leaning professors are the cause of it all.
They teach political lies to the students, who believe what they are told and are made angry by it.
And the left leaning university administrators, provosts, presidents are the enablers of it all, with their vice-presidents of equity, diversity, and inclusion, their safe-spaces, their obeisance to social construction, their canonization of critical theory, their abandonment of objective knowledge, and their effective collusion with faculty who systematically violate the university tenure agreement.
Pat,
Yes some do, and did actively support it. No sympathy for them from me.
But I believe most, although “Left leaning”, are now also horrified at what has happened by their silence. They know there is a middle ground – which is now a No Man’s Land. They probably thought it would just “pass.” They are realizing the Left eats it own eventually when there is no Free Speech – No academic freedom.
And they do not know how to respond.
Did Theta Grunberg approve this?
Her folks probably arranged it. She’s not really catching fire here in the States.
Last Friday, Greta held one of her Friday student strikes in Charlotte NC and only drew 1,200, and that number might be an exaggeration in the reporting by the Charlotte Observer.
Nothing like paying for a little “grass roots’ tribute to yourself to raise your profile.
I wouldn’t think anyone in San Francisco would ever look up to see the mural what with their being too preoccupied with looking down to make sure they don’t step in poo or homeless people sleeping it off.
Apparently true these days in that city.
Don’t forget keeping an eye out for the needles. as disgusting as stepping in human poo would be, stepping on a dirty needle would be far worse.
When someone suggested to show that Greta had the moral high ground this artist obviously misread this as the mural high ground. Why else would anyone would think such a foreboding painting is appropriate.
The purpose of good art is not to entertain, but to encourage deeper analysis of physical reality. This is simply an Impressionism artistic style.
Impressionism: a style or movement in painting originating in France in the 1860s, characterized by a concern with depicting the visual impression of the moment, especially in terms of the shifting effect of light and color. Thus a literary or artistic style that seeks to capture a feeling or experience rather than to achieve accurate depiction.
Hopefully it’ll stay there for decades and date as well as bell bottom slacks. It’ll be a monument to the age of stupid.
I want to see Sabo put his mark on it. He just might.
http://unsavoryagents.com/
And I am to rely on an uneducated artist to give me a “… deeper analysis of physical reality.” to supplant my educated observations? Screw off!
Yes!
Realize the Left is all about supplanting reality with feelings.
Feelings from emotion supplant evidence. Emotions supplant observation.
The emotions of Climate Change supplants science.
The Brave New World.
Remember the Daleks in Dr Who who rattled around saying “exterminate! Exterminate!”?
Greta is throw-back to that time about 100 years ago in St Petersburg, Russia. She would’ve been a very good Trotskyite – an advocate for anti-capitalist Permanent Revolution. Her scolding remarks of “How dare you!” oozes with anti-capitalism rhetoric.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trotskyism
In that way she is a part of Trotsky’s anti-capitalist movement to this day – visible mouthpiece being exploited by anti-capitalist movements in Europe and taking hold in the US, mostly in the Democratic Party (see “entryism” below). Trotsky’s Fourth International (FI) movement largely died in Europe under attack by Capitalists and by Stalin’s Soviet secret police attacks during and immediately after WW2. Trotsky was murdered by a Soviet NKVD agent under orders from Stalin. But FI still lives in Latin America and in places in Europe. It now seems that Globalist movement, the anti-capitalist movement of the UN’s Agenda 21, has been taken over or deeply inflitrated by FI advocates.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_International
The FI-Trotsky movement, realized it could not create its own independent movement and compete with larger established socialist leaning organizations (US Democratic Party for example). So it has largely adopted a tactic of entryism.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entryism
“Entryism is a political strategy in which an organisation or state encourages its members or supporters to join another, usually larger, organisation in an attempt to expand influence and expand their ideas and program. In situations where the organization being ‘entered’ is hostile to entrism, the entrists may engage in a degree of subterfuge and subversion to hide the fact that they are an organisation in their own right.”
This what is happening to US Democrat’s today – entryism by anti-capitalist Trotskyites (that is Permanent Revolutionaries pushing a worker’s party the Bernie-Warren wing vs the Clinton-Biden wing). The “anti-capitalist” movement now is so strong within the US Democrat Party that they are effectively at war with each other for control of their party. We saw Nancy Pelosi genuflect to this reality when she put Greta on the House Floor to speak. A Greta could very well be the next Trotsky in a repeat of history, this time in the West instead of Russia.
It is so hard to find a good ice-pick these days.
That’s why I have two Malinois to keep me on my toes and an M&P9 on my fingers.
how did so many people…get so sick
Propaganda – pushing the need to be a part of something.
Cultism. Belonging. Empty lives looking for something of meaning.
Those are powerful forces that users have always exploited for probably 10K+ years.
Hilarious to see all the weird twists and turns the believers take to get the word out. BTW I just cleared 6 inches of global warming off my driveway here in Rochester Michigan, way too early for snow now, Greta just won’t know what snow is.
”I just cleared 6 inches of global warming off my driveway here in Rochester Michigan, way too early for snow now”
Climate change.
Mods, help my comment-#2844285 got sent to the bit bucket.
Scary how much she looks like Putin in this mural
The scariest thing is the nazi-culture that has taken over the global warming cult.
Not too long ago this kind of murals (or posters then) was completely normal:
Mods, if you think this goes way too far, please delete. Readers, if this offends you, I’m very sorry.
But we’re getting the Climate-Jugend now. I can hardly see it any different. History repeats itself.
Somebody put a MAGA hat on that mural of Greta and tweeted it out!
A vast improvement over the original, especially since it had a HUGE impact on the climate by “melting” so many “snowfkakes”!!
They were livid!
Er, what was that?
“I dare you” ???
It will be a standing challenge to vandals.
but are you also ready for the Goths????
No, but I can see Visi-Goths!
*rimshot*
Her expression is almost chillingly evil.
You had me at laser eyes! I’m converting to St. Greta’s side! 😉
I can’t help but wonder if, when Canada and much of US was covered with thousands of feet thick ice (The Laurentide Ice Sheet), these same people would have tried to stop that period of Climate Change (“OH NO, It’s Melting”).
Of course they could not stop the melting of that ice sheet; and it was Mother Nature that indeed melted it. We are now simply in another period of Climate Change driven entirely by “Mother Nature”, and we no more have the ability to alter this period (or any future period) of climate change than we would have had to stop the melting of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.
Jobs are available for folks that spend all their time protesting. There are lots of people that need help; maybe get a job and help the homeless get off the streets; do something achievable and worthwhile.
