The prehistoric megalithic structure in England has been targeted by activists spraying orange powder paint, social media footage showed.

Environmental protesters sprayed paint on Stonehenge on Wednesday, with footage showing an orange powder covering some of the stones.

Two protesters dressed in white were seen running towards two of the megaliths, spraying paint, as another person attempted to stop them, in footage released by Just Stop Oil, an environmental activist group focused on the issue of human-caused climate change.

Amazingly missed the point. This is for the deniers and for all the inaction and half-assed attempts at fixing the problem only to bend to corporate interests. This is shows organization in a group and the means to get things done. What do you think the next steps are if these actions dont beget any changes?

This is for the deniers

"Climate change is a liberal hoax! They just want to tax us to death! Look at all the research they fabricated in Climategate!"

sees people spray orange paint on a rock

"Wait a second. I think I was looking at this all wrong!"

Do you really think any deniers are now convinced?

Over a century of data pouring in but this act will be what convinces them?
