    Climate change has not been out of the news cycle for months, and it probably won’t ever really be again. Every day there are new reports of flooding or record heat, or data centres using up all the water, or melting glaciers, etc.

    And how are corporate ghouls being stopped by Greenpeace hanging a banner on a oil rig?

      I’m thinking more on a scale of days. At least in my feed, climate need has been getting overwhelmed by other things lately.

      They’re not. But it might inspire someone to actually go do something that could stop the corpo ghouls. It at least says that someone is willing to do something, even if it’s just symbolic.

      Like I’m in agreement with you that it’s not a super useful protest, but it’s not useless or worse than useless either IMO.

        So basically, we need more Luigi’s. Or for some benevolent psychopath to start a luxury suicide cult for billionaires and warmongers. Or a time machine.
