The guys doing Stonehenge at least tried. They used a powder they thought would just come off in the rain.

Tried what?

Give rich oil producer execs something to laugh at and say “See how silly they are? THAT is supposed to show climate change is real? It’s all nonsense, pass the coke”

You want to get attention AND piss on the right people? Then go after their big toys. Go after their airplanes. That’s something humanity could get behind, not you trying to destroy priceless art, or historical sites.

Nobody cares what the oil executives think. A protest isn’t going to make them stop producing and selling oil. And if they tried the system would dump them and bring in the next guy. Protests like this are about raising the public’s awareness and you seem pretty aware now.

The Stone Henge people are saying that the water, lichen, and powder would have reacted badly. I do not have the education to know if that’s true or not.

Meh.

Their job is to defend stonehenge at all costs. They wouldn’t let people look at it if they could get away with it.

Of course they’re going to say that the powder is reckless and could potentially upset the lichen or something.

It’s hard to believe that this stunt could have any measurable impact in another 10 years or so.

They’re probably just a bunch of upset babies blowing everything out of proportion, of course they would go to the most unlikely and extreme outcome.

Strangley, 2 days ago they said they’ll have to get the experts out to have a look at it, before they can tell.

What a very quick turnaround that, apparently, was…

Nor did the protesters I would guess.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
