What we want them to do is not act like toddlers throwing a temper tantrum.
They aren't accomplishing anything but making people dislike the majority of climate activists who don't engage in such foolish, self-aggrandizing, wanton, and yes, highly narcissistic behavior.
Here's a productive activity that the vast majority of climate activists are unwilling to do:
Take cold showers. Start a big movement to take cold showers. Hot water heaters use tons of energy. My dad is a climate activist, and uses cold water, keeps his thermostat set to 50 in winter, doesn't use AC in summer. You know, things that are actually uncomfortable and require sacrifice that these narcissists will never do.

- ok_dad 4y agoIndividual action on the climate cannot solve climate change. I can live in a tent off the land and it won’t help because not even a small minority of people will be willing to take cold showers, let alone the other things they would have to give up. Things have to change from the top down, corporations have to do more than lip service, sometimes large organizations will have to be put to an end (big oil, big plastics, etc).
