Climate protesters seem to have a knack for doing really irrelevant shit to bring attention to climate change.

No one dies? No one loses their balls? No beatings?

Is the planet dying or not? If so wtf is powder paint gonna do except fuck it up more???

Why Stonehenge? What does Stonehenge have to do with climate change?

Maybe go sink some yachts or spray paint some Saudi oil dealers.
