Look maybe it's just my bubble but I'm not sure that is the case. I take environmental concerns into heavy consideration while voting but beyond that what actions I can take personally are highly limited (I already don't own a car, which is going to pretty massively produce my footprint compared to the average western adult). The thing is short of performing an act of what would essentially be terrorism (assaulting and injuring an oil company executive or a politician who screws up my nation's commitments to carbon neutrality or blowing up a mine or something) I don't think there is anything approaching a direct way for me to be involved in actually fixing the problem. People acknowledge the problem, they just also feel powerless to fix it because in a lot of ways they are, and it's awful, and that powerlessness just makes this sort of "awareness seeking" activism rankle me even more. I live in Sydney and I while back some activists glued themselves the road on the harbour bridge, massively fucking up traffic for hours (ironically this protest probably hurt the environment by causing a traffic jam). Nobody became "more aware" of climate change as a result, but they did have their day disrupted and have to spend more time stuck in cars and buses, they did have to stress about getting to work late, and in some cases probably stay at work late to make up the time. Those people are facing jail time, and as much as I normally do respect that protests have to be disruptive to be meaningful I agree with the penalty in this case. The only people they disrupted were normal people just trying to make it through the goddamn day. I think this whole thing with the art is similar. Absolutely be disruptive, but be targeted: glue yourself to the car of an Exxon Mobile exec, glue yourself to an access road leading to a refinery. Don't degrade public spaces like major roads or art galleries unnecessarily - the people making decisions won't care or be impacted and the rest of us will suffer just that little bit more.
