Well, there is a cycle:
- Media doesn't cover climate change
- Groups like Xtinction Rebellion hold a disruptive demonstration
- Media complains that it's irrational and actually pushes people away from the climate movement
- A small backlash of commentators point out that they're drawing needed attention to the issue
- Public discusses climate change until media loses interest
... and the cycle repeats.
I hope that some climate protesters do something flashy and disruptive as soon as possible.
