1:14Now PlayingTwo climate change activists glued themselves to the frames of paintings by Spanish artist Francisco Goya at El Prado Museum Saturday afternoon.
The two women used adhesives to stick themselves to the paintings "La Maja Desnuda" (The Nude Maja) and "La Maja Vestida" (The Clothed Maja) after spray painting graffiti reading "1.5 degrees Celsius" on the wall.
Data indicates a 50 percent chance of average global temperatures reaching 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels within the next five years.
The figure was revealed by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) in May 2022.
Saturday's protest was set by "Futuro Vegetal" (Vegetal Future), a local climate change activists platform focused on curbing greenhouse emissions by changing dietary habits.
Museum security personnel escorted the public out of the venue by the time the police arrived to detain the protesters.
