Smearing cake on the Mona Lisa? Really? History\u2019s prettiest smile shouldn\u2019t be covered in frosting. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThink of the Earth, people are destroying the Earth,\u201d the painting\u2019s attacker said in French on Sunday as he was being walked away. Yeah, so, ruining an invaluable work of art is how we stop that? I guess that\u2019s what you call \u201cenvironmentalist logic.\u201d Step aside, military intelligence and jumbo shrimp, there\u2019s a new oxymoron in town. <\/p>\n<p>Create traffic jams to protest emissions! Oppose fracking so we don\u2019t get to use the vital bridge fuel of natural gas instead of oil! Shut down zero-emissions nuclear plants so that large countries such as Germany can, er, go back to burning coal! Everything environmentalists call for is counterproductive. It\u2019s almost like they\u2019re not thinking clearly while they\u2019re holding their demented public displays of mass psychosis.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, environmentalists from Money Rebellion, a spinoff of the climate-change freak show Extinction Rebellion, disrupted a shareholder meeting for Shell by singing \u201cWe Will Stop You\u201d to the tune of \u201cWe Will Rock You,\u201d before riding their petroleum-burning buses home. \u201cWe\u2019re here to embarrass them and hold them to account,\u201d said their leader, before Shell carried on with business unembarrassed. They know they\u2019re in oil, thanks.<\/p>\n<p>Last October, an environmentalist group blocked four major choke points in London, causing chaos all over the capital while seething motorists burned petrol and waited in traffic. Over Easter weekend, another counterproductive move by Extinction Rebellion closed key streets in Paris as well as London. Anyone who doubts that these people are failing to engage with reality should consider the banner hoisted in Paris that read: \u201cThis world is dying. Let\u2019s build the next one.\u201d Only in video <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s do you get to build a new world, people. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/mona-lisa-louvre-smeared-cream.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"A security guard cleans smeared cream from the glass protecting the Mona Lisa.\" class=\"wp-image-22489473\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/mona-lisa-louvre-smeared-cream.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/mona-lisa-louvre-smeared-cream.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/mona-lisa-louvre-smeared-cream.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>A man disguised as an old woman in a wheelchair threw a piece of cake at the glass protecting the Mona Lisa and shouted at people to think of planet Earth.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">@Klevisl007\/<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a> via AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And what\u2019s with the now-clich\u00e9 love for causing massive traffic jams? Climate kids should rename themselves the Smog Lovers or the Carbon Spewers. <\/p>\n<p>In the summer of 2019, Extinction Rebellion bozos super-glued themselves to a tunnel under the Capitol building to delay a vote on \u2026 something or other, and you probably yawned, if you even noticed. Who can keep track of all the stunts? <\/p>\n<p>Last October, a group of cockeyed pessimists swarmed around the White House, demanding that President Biden declare a national emergency and end projects involving fossil fuels. Meanwhile, they vandalized a statue of Andrew Jackson, spraying \u201cEXPECT US\u201d on its base. Expect you to \u2026 be annoying? We were already expecting that. Ultimately the performatively worried join these mobs for the same reasons toddlers throw tantrums: because it\u2019s an excellent way to get attention. \u201cI don\u2019t want to die!\u201d shrieked a woman as she was realizing her goal of getting arrested at the White House protest. Noted. So go home and don\u2019t die, then. Andrew Jackson isn\u2019t listening, and neither are most of us. <\/p>\n<p>The young French enviro-nut who went after the Mona Lisa took pains to disguise himself as an old woman in a wheelchair (why?) before his stunt, which culminated with him attempting to break the glass that covers the Leonardo masterpiece in the Louvre. Failing to do that, he settled for smearing cake on it before he was led away grumbling. <\/p>\n<p>It was all spacey dreams, self-righteousness and indignation, with no actual point. Cake is nothing but empty calories, and climate protests are the cake of policy discussions.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
