San Francisco Is Receiving A Gigantic Greta Thunberg Mural
[Hot Air] We’ve covered plenty of disturbing news coming out of the City by the Bay over the past couple of years, but I’ll confess I didn’t see this one coming. Then again, perhaps it’s the most natural fit in the world. The event in question is the soon to be completed project of painting a gigantic mural of child climate activist Greta Thunberg on the side of a San Francisco building. Exact dimensions aren’t given, but judging by the pictures it’s in the range of sixty feet high and forty feet wide. And that’s not weird at all... (The Guardian)

San Francisco, a city that prides itself on its eco-consciousness, will soon have a giant likeness of Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg gazing upon its downtown, reminding residents to respect the planet.

The Argentine muralist Andres Iglesias, who signs his art with the pseudonym Cobre, is expected to complete the project in the central Union Square neighborhood by next week, SFGate reported. Cobre also painted a revered mural of the comedian Robin Williams that has since been demolished.

"Climate change is real," Cobre told SFGate. "This girl Greta is awesome and she knows what she’s doing. I hope with this mural people will realize we have to take care of the world."

The artist is apparently somewhat famous in circles where people enjoy, er... huge murals on buildings. And now, everyone passing that neighborhood in San Francisco will have the image of the child who now apparently runs the climate alarmist movement scornfully gazing down on them. How lovely. Of course, this is the same city where they painted over a large mural of George Washington (on the 4th of July, no less) only to have this mural draw public applause. That probably should tell us something.

#12 The no-talent shithead & shit-slinging provocateur who calls himself "Banksy" has pocketed MILLIONS from his garbage that trashes neighborhoods and ruins buildings.

He's not an "artist"; he's an entrepreneur.
