How brave! Going after paintings when they could protest wars, inefficient shipping routes for natural gas etc. Where would they get their soup from if all use

How brave! Going after paintings when they could protest wars, inefficient shipping routes for natural gas etc. Where would they get their soup from if all use of oil and fertilizer suddenly stopped? Why are they wasting food?

Perhaps their actions are not working ... as you have demonstrated that you have absolutely no idea what they are campaigning for. No disrespect, but I support what they are campaigning for and the need for attention - but it's not working. As you've so clearly shown. They need to change their tactics.

  It's worse than not working, it's breeding resentment against them and their cause. There are only a handful of replies here so far, and one of them is this > I hate these people. Van Gogh is my favorite artist. I feel like going out and buying a Hummer. I have to say, I believe in climate change and that we are doing irreparable harm to our planet and the life on it. But what this group is doing is frankly evil and should be opposed.

    Calling them evil is much too far and cheapens the word to what it really means. Logically, they've done no significant physical damage. However, the damage is in the minds of the message recipients.

  The fact that they aren't changing their tactics is evidence that they're working exactly as intended. It's only confusing if you think they care about anything other than attention.

Is there a list of acceptable causes that we should all focus on first, before moving onto the next?

  How about if you're focusing on climate change, you target the causes of climate change? Shocking, I know.

    Government policy? Lobbying has been active since the late 70's and not made enough progress. What approach do you suggest?
