Climate activists in Austria defaced a famous painting in a Vienna museum on Tuesday, the latest in a string of such protests targeting priceless works of art in a call to action against fossil fuels.
Members of an activist group called Last Generation posted pictures and video online Tuesday showing a protester pouring "black, oily liquid" on Gustav Klimt's "Death and Life" painting at the Leopold Museum before security intervened. Another activist can be seen attempting to glue himself to the protective barrier in front of the painting.
The group is demanding laws that would lower highway speed limits to 100km/h , which they claim would save 460 million tons of CO2 per year in Austria and reduce noise and air pollution.
