Two climate activists on Tuesday targeted Botticelli’s masterpiece “The Birth of Venus” hanging at Florence’s Uffizi Gallery, attaching images of recent flood damage in the Tuscany region on the protective glass.

And, activists? What have you now accomplished? Why not start going to install PV panels somewhere (or something like that).I could have expressed myself more eloquently I suppose. Down this thread I might have put it slightly better:
Don’t worry, probably they are going to jail for protesting. Soon we won’t have any more rabble disturbing the blissful zen of self extinction.
I can’t believe all these people who still don’t get it. We are so fucked. It’s not even a joke at this point, we are completely fucked as far as curbing climate change.
These protestors didn’t even cause any damage, they just made a slight convenience and now they’re going to go to jail for up to 6 months.
Meanwhile, we continue to have record carbon emissions year after year. It’s as if people using paper straws isn’t enough or something…
Which is taking things too far indeed (the jail sentences), I agree with you on that.
That is not even remotely what I was writing. You are pulling a straw-man argument here without even considering what I actually meant. The activists did not even inconvenience anybody, so you did not even make sense either. At most did they portray themselves as (proverbial) clowns which is far from convincing the “top” something needs to change in order to fix climate change. So I just meant to say there are better ways to be climate activist than this.
