On: Xkcd: Greenhouse Effect

[unglaublich]

And people keep wondering why climate protesters are not asking things "nicely" anymore, and resort to blocking traffic and defacing paintings. They tried the nice way... they tried for many decades.

And all they do is push people further away from their causes. They are the least equipped people to be dealing with this situation.

They should be spending their time getting PHDs in Engineering or Physics to try and help solve these issues.

yea, because destroying famous works of art and blocking traffic, really helps bring people over to your side....

I'd prefer to see them damage fossil fuel infrastructure, but they aren't actually damaging these paintings. They're specifically targeting works with glass over them. It's more of a symbolic defacing.

People aren’t wondering, they just don’t consider this an acceptable or effective way to protest.
