Like that painting that's not for sale lol
I’m fine with defacing a Warhol or some overrated impressionist like Renoir, but if they mess with a Franz Marc, I’m go full climate change denier and have a tire fire at their high school.
While I noted that these climate protesters are idiots (on another thread) I will concede that this is a good take (and thread) on the situation from Mr. I-can-make-noise-like-a-mofo Albini.

Background
Tom Harris is the Executive Director of the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC), a group of climate change skeptics that has received funding from the Heartland Institute. Before starting work with ICSC, Harris was the Executive Director of the now-defunct Natural Resources Stewardship Project (NRSP).

According to Harris’s archived profile at APCO Worldwide, “Specifically, he has worked with oil and gas, coal, nuclear, environmental and aerospace clients for whom he has conducted effective media and public relations campaigns.” His profile also highlights how he has “worked with private companies and trade associations to successfully position these entities and their interests with media and before various government committees and regulatory bodies.” [68]
The Heartland Institute describes Harris as “perhaps the most frequently cited and interviewed critic of exaggeration and alarmism in the global warming debate, appearing thousands of times on online news forums and being regularly published in newspapers in Canada and the U.S. and occasionally in Australia, New Zealand, the U.K., and other countries.” [5]

The Heartland Institute is so religiously against climate change, they will fund any idiot willing to shill their pseudo-science. The institute even stopped disclosing where they received their funding since they got so much from Big Oil companies via small shell companies. Pure ideological nonsense that has simply no grounding in any established science.

An absolute disgrace they’re doing this during the cost of living crisis and with food banks queued out the door.
Not everyone can afford an idealistic ‘plant based’ diet. The couple £ extra on oat, almond or whatever milk a week is a substantial amount to many families.
Yeah it really is.
Btw I do love a bit of oat milk and all that but this form of 'protest' isn't just 'disruptive', it's downright stupid.
Spoilt student brats who need a taste of real life.

I don`t know about those type of ciggies, my Grandad bought four hundred thousand Capstan Full Strength, Players Navy Cut, Woodbines and Park Drive to last him after filters became mandatory. He started smoking when he was 9 and he`s fine so maybe the filtered low-tar brands make you ill.

Or maybe everyone's physiology and relative risk for smoking related diseases and cancer is different ?
