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.

She’s got Greta Thunberg eyes.
Please do not denigrate “Bette Davis Eyes.”
So many people I have spoken to in Scandinavia have a very positive view on Greta. They say something like this: “Oh Greta, yes she behaved a bit stupid at the UN assembly, but in the end she is right about what she is saying; we have to do more for the climate.”
Really scary, the sheeple story repeat itself:
Way back in 1972, I met my parents in West Berlin. We went through Checkpoint Charlie into East Berlin. There were very few people there, it was a ghost town and the only well dressed people we saw were four soldiers parading in front of the National Museum. The occasional tram passing through the big square, Unter Den Linden, were all empty apart from the female driver. During my conversation with a woman from the museum staff, I was made to understand that she was sort of okay with her family’s and her own life, but was curious how life was in West Berlin. After telling her that there were too many cars and noise and anything I could portray as bad, she smiled and fell relieved.
Comparing the the Greta climate at al behavior with the East Berlin story, it occurs to me that a great majority of the population fall nicely into line with the leaders of the pack, with good faith; that what sounds right, must be right. – If the flock falls like lemmings into poverty and no way out, so be it.
San Francisco, the Tides hub… What a coincidence…
When does she go to China or India for a wake up call?
She needs to spend a month in Monrovia Liberia traveling the slums to see what energy poverty means. Makes the favelas of Rio de J look like gentrified US suburbs.
There is the huge Pacific ocean in between: weeks of risky sailing. What is wrong with nearby Central America? On horse/donkey back to the slums in El Salvador, Honduras or Venezuela would make much more Dark Green “sense”.
Great Greta,it sort of rolls off the tongue
Great Greta Priestess of Gaia ..
Greeting from Greta?
The new official religion of our progressive(Statist) comrades is pathetic.
This is the best they can do?
Although Greta is the perfect face for a bunch of humorless scolds,nags and nitwits.
This is still child abuse,because although she is 16 or so,she is not mentally competent to function as an adult…
Does this make her a natural for a Can-Ahh-Duh member of Parliament?
Or is it an in as a American Demon?
Enquiring minds might want to know.
It needs a caption and/or one of those balloon dialog things.
A caption:
“HELP!
I’m stuck to this wall and I can’t get off!”
Or:
“HEY!
I saw that squat!
In a balloon:
“Don’t blame me! My Dad does all my makeup.”
HOW DARE YOU!”
OOPS! A line got misplaced.
“HEY!
I saw that squat!
HOW DARE YOU!”
A caption:
“Al Gore made millions and all I got is this lousy mural.”
It’s like a mural from 1984 with big brother looking down at you….except with pig tails. Where is that old Apple commercial with the hammer?
She is also trying to get Facebook and twitter to shutdown “denialist” posts on her feeds. Welcome to the real world of public facing politics. I said you were not prepared for this “fame”, or should that be infamy, and you prove it every day.
Pretty sure you aren’t allowed to use CFCs as propellant anymore
That was what I thought too. Wasn’t it in late 80’s they banned it and later when the ozone hole diminished, they said: See it helped.
Yes, most likely the propellant is light hydrocarbon based.

The incredible goofiness of the climate movement for all to see and yet this thing just keeps chugging on as if by magic, getting goofier and goofier as it goes.
These Swedes are worrying about climate change? They should be more worried about the destruction of their culture and country from within. Native born Swedes are no longer “welcome” in Sweden. One the other hand, if you are an asylum seeker you are more Swedish than Swedes. It’s true. The country is being destroyed from within by the elites and politicians. Thousands of migrants arriving every day with no work to do or housing to live in, so they end up begging on the streets. There are many societal issues that I won’t go in to now.
Greta, and handlers, knows best.
Unfortunately you are wrong about “begging on the streets”. Newly arrived “refugees” have priority access to housing with social security paying the rent. Indeed they are the only people in Sweden that are guaranteed housing by law, “Bosättningslagen”.
And, yes, we have lots and lots of beggars, but they are all rumanian and bulgarian gypsies, so being from an EU country they don’t get the free housing.
Sweden today is an utterly insane country. Unfortunately I live there.

Sweden today is an utterly insane country.”
That’s what I hear. Along with pretty much every other major EU member state, the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia, the last two are rapidly catching up in the race to the bottom!

The last time children were used to “save the world” was the Children’s Crusade in, as I recall, 1212 or thereabouts. Sponsored by Pope Pedophile the umpteenth, it didn’t work out to well.
Most of the children were given ‘free’ passage to the Holy Land where they were sold into slavery… those that didn’t drown in shipwrecks that is.
Looks like history may be reapeating itself. Go for it Greta!
Cheers

This whole thing is quite medieval. We have saints : Greta, Algore , Suzuki , etc. A Children’s Crusade. The sale of indulgences to absolve sins (“offsetting carbon credits”). The elites making money while living extremely hypocritically. The suppression of science. Heretics who are vilified for not following orthodoxy (but not burned at the stake though. Yet). The chanting of incantations to save one from harm (the ubiquitous practice in scientific papers of the writers affirming “climate change” as the cause of all ills. So that their funding is renewed.) And, the promise of a return to a mythical Eden (“pre-industrial temperatures”) if we renounce evil (“CO2”).
Here’s what that mural looks like when viewed through certain sunglasses.
OBEY!
Don’t CONSUME.
SLEEP!
Don’t marry and multiply!
CONFORM!
Don’t Question Authority!
And They call that Living?
They Live!!!
Jerry Brown was certainly one of them.
Even without the sunglasses, after a while.
“Cobre plans to repurpose into a sculpture to prevent the highly toxic items from ending up in a landfill.”
— That just sounds like landfill with extra steps.
It bemuses me that so many Lefties want to publicly declare that Nordic Thanos is the new Jeanne d’Arc.
Perhaps if they did more than 4 days a week of schooling they might release that Jeanne (or Joan for the more Anglo among us) was burnt at the stake once her previous supporters found it more useful to start avoiding her like the plague.
She stopped being useful, so they arranged for her carbon to be released back into the atmosphere.
Part of me wants to believe the Lefties are subtly warning Greta not to get ideas above her station, and that what they create they can also destroy, but… Lefties. They not that smart.
Anthony and Dr. Happer should bring mirrored lenses with them to Madrid!
If the greta turns her scarifying glare upon them, they can reflect it back at her.
Just to be clear, CFCs have been banned. They’re no longer used for aerosol can propellant. The Daily Wire article doesn’t include this statement (has it been edited?).
Yes and no.
CFC’s for the use as aerosol propellants have been banned since 1978 in the US (so unlikely that any were used in this mural). But they are still in use as refrigerants, and other industrial uses. complete phaseout will happen sometime between 2020-2030 (for example, they were widely in use for asthma inhalers up until 2009, with the last two types of CFC inhalers having been phased out in 2013 – a mere six years ago).
Propagandist (fartist) promotes a twisted cult of personality.
Mediocrity wins!
Greta, poster child for the New Stupid.
The best response to this mural is not to deface or remove it. The best response would be to reproduce it on as many buildings, bus shelters, billboards, etc. As possible. What better tribute to this artwork than to copy it everywhere!
/Not even sarcasm.
With regard to the laser eyes meme, they did build an office block in London which focussed the rays of the sun onto parked vehicles…

I wonder if Greta is in hurry to get back to Sweden given its had its earliest Autumn in decades and some of the earliest snow in years whilst she has been away? At least one ski resort is opening this week, weeks earlier than last year.
The only climate-related emergency there at the moment is cold.
Not exactly an emergency, but it is indeed unseasonally cold, particularly in northern Sweden

These 15min are so much an explanation of Climate Change, Saint Greta, MSM and the political disorder, the riots and everything in between. For those who have never read George Orwell’s last book from 1949 or did not understand it fully, this video is worth using 15min on and then turn to WUWT or the sites it links to, to put Climate Change in relation to INGSOC
Greta! Baringa!
reckon anyone across the way with a window could get rich quick offering paintball shots at greta:-))
hell Id pay to do that if I lived there.
faster would just be carefully pouring some ecofriendly canned paint down the wall from above
