Environmental activists glued their hands to a copy of Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper painting to protest climate change and fossil fuels at the Royal Academy art gallery in London Tuesday.
The group of demonstrators, who call themselves “Just Stop Oil,” spray-painted the words “No New Oil” below the 8 foot long artwork.
The copy painting of the Da Vinci masterpiece was reportedly painted by two of renaissance artist’s apprentices, Giampietrino and Giovanni Antonio Boltraffio around the year 1500, approximately 15 years after da Vinci painted the original.
Five of the protesters glued their hands to the frame of the painting. The museum was closed to the public during the demonstration.

The group gave demanded the gallery be shut down until the UK government block licenses for future oil and gas extraction.
“Ladies and gentleman, we are sorry for the disruption. Leonardo da Vinci said out of all the sciences art is the queen of communication. And now more than ever in this day and age, communication with truth and of the experience of humanity during these times of catastrophic climate is needed now more than ever,” one of the demonstrators exclaimed.
“The truth is that any new oil expansion is a death sentence for the future. It’s a death sentence for the younger generations. and its a death sentence for the nature that has directly inspired art for tens of thousands of years,” he continued. “Our government is still lying about the impacts of climate change. We are headed beyond a world of 1.5 degrees to a world of 2 degrees warming or more. This will mean over 20 percent of the landmass of this planet becoming uninhabitable.”WATCH:Climate change is a […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
