What next, petrol on a Picasso? Threatening art is no answer to the #ClimateCrisis! Attacks on art have become a headline-hogging obsession with a hideous escalating logic. The nastier the treatment of a famous masterpiece, the bigger the media coverage.

@AmerLiberal I think somewhere these kids might have gotten the idea that destruction of something of high monetary value to the rich that is attention grabbing has more impact than a vote or a petition or even talking to their elected officials, while I may not agree with their actions, I can easily see the validity of the impetus
@EelGM - I also agree with climate activist's goals, BUT
1) Destruction is counterproductive, it turns people off and makes climate activism appear to be an antisocial movement.
2) There is collateral damage to innocent people. (I'm not thinking of Picassos, but of blocking traffic and having patients in ambulances die in the traffic backup)
