For what it’s worth, I completely agree that threatening historical artifacts to get people’s attention is counterproductive. I looked over Just Stop Oil and I don’t agree with all of their tactics. Promoting some other type of action sounds better, to me.
But on the other hand at least they are doing something. If 10% of the world cared as much as they do, we’d have a much better chance of taking effective action against the apocalypse that’s coming.
