All I said was keep children out of it!!!
Right. To summarize: you expect to be dead before global warming becomes a major nuisance, and you would like your kids, who will probably die from it, not to bother you about it in your remaining living years.
I thought that distortion of what I said was going to come much sooner! What took you so long?!
Everyone is someone's child!

Activists today tried to glue themselves to exactly the painting I guarded a few days ago and posted about here few days ago. 

In the major news Norway

SKRIK

Get tougher guards that makes the them Scream! 

Veteran Kings guards should be paid well to guard national treasures from such scum bags.

Famed painting "The Scream" targeted by climate activists

I hope no one here participated. anyway hope they get long sentences.
I think Scream/Skrik is an oil painting and yes climate activists want to destroy all oil. Scream is one of the most valuable pieces of oil in the world (on canvas), one of other four 1/1 originals was sold for $600 million USD +.

Can we not just glue them to a cross in the town square?

I thought it first was a couple of silly teenagers trying to glue themselves to the painting, it was two academics from our biggest university, one postdoc.  They will likely get big funding now, one professors already praised them for the glue attempt.

this is political correct these days now I see, I got it wrong!    What is best glue to use?

That’s a very good question. I imagine most glues are very bad for the environment. And vegans won’t like traditional glues.

Why don’t they nail themselves to the paintings?

Or they could go screw themselves.

The Norwegian experience with glue has not been a happy one

The bridge's main truss was built from glued laminated timber (glulam), with Corten steel beams and stone pillars. It is now expected to be demolished on Wednesday morning, Innlandet County Council said.

Hmm - as a veteran of the King’s Guard (HMKG), and on Veteran’s Day, no less, I kind of feel a calling. And paid well, you say?
