NYT’s Essay Claims ‘History May Absolve’ Van Gogh Climate ‘Soup Throwers’

activist soup paintingThe New York Times published a garbage essay by a radical environmentalist defending young climate fanatics for throwing “soup” on a world-famous Vincent van Gogh painting, calling it an example of “creative methods” to stop fossil fuel production.

Lund University Professor Andreas Malm emerged as a white knight for “Just Stop Oil” protestors who recently threw “soup” onto  Vincent van Gogh’s world-famous 1889 painting, “Sunflowers.” [bold, links added]

But instead of defending van Gogh – a Dutch painter who died in 1890 and who probably contributed next to nothing to the so-called climate change crisis – Malm claimed that “History May Absolve the Soup Throwers” in an Oct. 20 guest essay for The Times.

As Malm conceded, “Vincent van Gogh is not responsible for our climate breakdown. He was not the C.E.O. of an oil and gas company or a coal merchant.”

But that was the last reasonable argument that the professor made during his rambling, 1,121-word essay.

The professor even went so far as to justify “property destruction” to advance a climate revolution:

“As for the ethics of property destruction, it is not, in this case, very complicated. Fossil fuels kill people. If you disrupt the flow of such fuels and damage the machinery they impel, you prevent deaths. You stop the perpetration of harm.

“You may destroy an inanimate object — and no one in the climate movement is suggesting anything other than targeting dead things — so as to protect living beings. Or, put differently, if you are locked in a house on fire, you have a right to break some windows to get out.” [Emphasis added].

Malm justified his promotion of “sabotage” as long as it is “precise and gritty.” The Guardian reported in April that “Just Stop Oil” activists vandalized gas stations in England.

Malm, of course, in The New York Times said “they hit the nail on the head” because gasoline “is a fuel of global warming.”

But if gas stations and van Gogh paintings aren’t worth protecting, what is?

Not much, according to Malm.

“There is a whole planetary layer of stations, pipelines, platforms, derricks, terminals, mines, and shafts that must be shut down to save humanity and other life forms,” he wrote. [Emphasis added].

But Malm didn’t stop there, riding the crazy, eco-extremist train right down to the finish.

The professor gave a nod to “climate militancy,” which supposedly encompasses “civil disobedience” and even “guerilla warfare” to reduce global carbon emissions.

The “soup throwers” wore shirts emblazoned with the words “Just Stop Oil,” corresponding with a far-left group dedicated to eradicating fossil fuels.

“Fossil fuels are killing us,” the group’s website proclaims. The video of the soup throwing has garnered thousands of views on YouTube and is prominent on the front page of Just Stop Oil’s website.

    Our left-wing childhood indoctrinators like Dr. David Suzuki actually brag about frightening schoolchildren with their lies that 0.04% of the atmosphere CO2 drives the climate. Completely disregarding the overwhelming benefit of more CO2 that makes the environment greener, stronger, more drought tolerant, and abundant. Completely disregarding the over 100 CO2 driven climate models that ALL overestimate projected warming when compared to actual weather balloon and satellite temperatures. Fools like this are bringing energy poverty deaths back to some of the richest countries in the world. They delusionally believe its possible to replace 85% of the world’s energy with energy that doesn’t work when the sun doesn’t shine and the wind doesn’t blow. Catastrophically stupid. They preach to those kids that they are going to have their life cut short because of CO2’s influence on the climate. A complete and proven lie! And biologist Suzuki wouldn’t qualify for his biology degree if he didn’t know this. There is no climate crisis. And still Suzuki sticks to his fake climate crisis. Lying that more of life’s most important ingredient is harmful to life. A life born in CO2 luxuriant concentrations more than twenty times those of today. Climate related deaths are one tenth today they were a century ago. A LACK of energy kills 300 times more people than the climate does today. Hurricane Ian killed an estimated 100 people. The deadliest hurricane in American history occurred in Galveston, Texas in 1900. It happened to a population far lower than today’s. And killed an estimated 6,000 to 12,000 people! We’ve got to quit dumbing down our kids with these lies about a non existent catastrophe. Ignore them that push it.

    Hey NYT. How about you finally learn something about the basic biology of our carbon-based living environment? Life on earth consists entirely of little carbon sacks of water called cells. The same photosynthetic process that paints the environment green, also provides every bit of the biological energy that powers life. It transforms sunlight into high energy sugar bonds with the green pigmented enzyme chlorophyll. Every bit of the carbon in the little carbon sacks of water called cells that compose life comes from CO2. And every bit of the atmospheric oxygen required by the entire Animal Kingdom to breathe. How about you learn something about our natural, normal cycles that drive the climate? The one hundred thousand year 12°C Millankovitch Eccentricity cycle. And the nine hundred year 4°C interglacial cycle within a cycle Dr. Judith Curry calls “Eddy cycles”? Whose latest iteration (of about 500) has had us warming since the 1600s when you could ice skate on the Thames. You used to set a high standard NYT. You’re failing today. Dummy up.

    “no one in the climate movement is suggesting anything other than targeting dead things” On the contrary, the founder of Extinction Rebellion has said openly that he would continue his protests even if holding up an ambulance resulted in a patient dying. He would be directly responsible and quite content. Likewise, Jonathan Porritt encourages the deflation of SUV tyres, even if that is likely to cause accidents and deaths.
