Except OP is pretty much in agreement with climate change, as am I. But I don't believe one bit that disrupting traffic flow and tossing paint onto artworks is a good effort to fight climate change - on the contrary, such stupidity by people who have barely matured out of art school actually invites backlash from the rest of the populace.
Fight climate change by actually working towards it. How many of those hand gluing numpties have actually cleaned a beach or a woodland for once in their lives? I'll tell you, zero.
These guys should instead be protesting outside Blackrock and Vanguard, which try to sell me a Climate Change ETF with shares from Exxon, Chevron and Aramco.
Backlash is good. MLK's whole strategy was about bringing the whole question of civil rights into a crisis, so the racists would have to actually stand up for their views, so the nation could have the kind of heated discussion the subject deserved.
That's how protest works: you make a whole bunch of people hate you, so they bang on about how awful you are all the time. If your cause is right, you can count on enough of the heated discussions you spawn to fall in your direction, and even though everybody will pay lip service to how awful you are, they'll recognize the basic sense of what you're campaigning for.

Cleaning a beach or a wwoodland is irrelevant to the climate change.
I’ve done more for climate change than that commenter above ever will and I’m in favor of any type of climate protest that they can do. Fuck up some art, who cares? We’ll all be fucked of we don’t change course soon, and some old fucker’s painting isn’t going to help us.
I mean, I've cleaned two beaches (my father 3) from oil tanker sinking close to my home. So at least 4?
And I also have cleaned woodland when I was youth camp counselor. Pretty sure some of the kids are now activists.
I agree that the government have less power than some Corp overall, but I mean, for some demands it's easy: homeowners should have government help to pay for their main house insulation , and pass a law that prevent rent hike in poorly insulated homes. Also create a insulation minimal requirement for new buildings.
True, true, i'm not. Still feel uncharitable. GP don't really know those people, and tbh i don't either, but i did go to "protests" (basically we marched through the city), and the weird activists often participated in weirder projects, and i would be surprised if most of them never cleaned a forest.
Also, those same weird activists type often made hundreds of kilometers to help clean Brittany's coasts. Not sure if those are the same as the people gluing their hand, but it wouldn't surprise me (non-violent, stupid actions are like their Motto).
