And that’s ok by us. 
That’s the point really, pissing people off is never a viable strategy for positive change. It rarely builds movements that make the world a better place. 
You can argue the media only covers people like this, but the media also gives PETA more attention then far more rational animal rights groups. 
And who actually makes change happen? The stooges who piss people off may get attention, and alienate those who might be reachable, but they aren’t going to make effective change. 
Meanwhile, effective groups attract donations from quieter activists, lobby for real effective change. There are numerous groups that have actually accomplished a lot of good, and those groups are the ones who should be lauded. 
These people only make the journey harder from the quietly kind people who are making an actual difference.
I gotta disagree, when people ruin art the convo is just about them ruining the art. People talk about climate change all the time >

~~People~~ Companies and governments don't do ~~anything~~ nearly enough about it though. These people are protesting inaction, not trying to bring awareness to its existence >

This is, of course badly off the mark.  People, governments and companies all over the world take action all the time to reduce carbon emissions. >

“Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.” >

It probably pushes more people away than it brings to support their cause. They have become the very thing they swore to destroy! >

Yeah I agree, that was my main reservation about posting this in the first place. But ultimately I believe that the more conversations we have regarding climate change the better. Maybe I'm naive but ultimately I believe the truth will cut its way through the bullshit and make its way to the surface, hopefully resulting in some sort of action down the line. Maybe in 35 years instead of 40 for example, but that's better than nothing. And worth the destroyed art in my opinion. >

I like the idea of my heritage and history being preserved. 
If you are fine with that being destroyed, I’m happy to watch your world burn too. >

Looks like it will if enough people think like that.
