THOSE WILD AND WACKY CLIMATE ACTIVISTS---ARE AT IT AGAIN....
"Climate activists" at it again---vandalize Christtopher Columbus painting on Spain'a National day. Two climate activists from the Spanish environmental group Futuro Vegetal made headlines recently after vandalizing a 133-year-old painting of Christopher Columbus at the Naval Museum in Madrid. The artwork, titled Primer homenaje a Cristóbal Colón ("First Tribute to Christopher Columbus") by José Garnelo, depicts Columbus's arrival in the New World in 1492. The two women threw biodegradable red paint over the painting; they also unfurled a banner that read: “October 12, nothing to celebrate. Ecosocial justice.”
