    Disrupting large events and especially important pieces of art has been a trend in climate activism recently, at least the most documented/reported. Although this tactic may get the conversation started, in my opinion, it drives away many people who could (but don't) climate activism.

    I've heard the crackpot theory that some of these activists are being covertly paid off by oil execs to make the ecological movement appear ridiculous. Absolutely no evidence but it's interesting to consider. If I were an Exxon administrator frothing crude petroleum from my mouth this is exactly what I'd do.

    Yeah, I agree -- it makes the climate movement seem irrational rather than scientific.

    It's crazy/a little sad that this is what some people feel like they have to resort to in order to spread the word. I understand that they usually have the right intentions however this can also just be seen as something done for publicity/attention.
