Examples include Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion here in the UK.

Personally, I think some charities are groups are genuine in their outburst wanting large firms to stop strangling the natural beauty for profit, however for me there is a red line that can be crossed.

Blocking roads preventing medical care, people going to work, interview and possibly a nice vacation away. This doesn't really help but make the public look at your group in a bad light.

The same can also be said when attempting to destroy priceless art for a cheap publicity stunt knowing it'll get clicks on social media.

TLDR - I think some groups are genuinely good whilst others are just shouting in a speakerphone, pissing everyone else off.

This, I don't live then e.g. throwing paint on painting because it seems kind of pointless, but at least it gets attention.

Painting was behind glass, the point is that in a climate change hellscape all this precious art is in danger. If all the people who read about a painting they've never heard of before get angry about "paint being thrown at it" they'll really hate what'll happen with extreme weather in a climate disaster.
