Stonehenge monuments that have stood for thousands of years appear unscathed after climate protesters were arrested for spraying orange paint on them.

Well good! It'd be fucking travesty to permanently damage a world heritage
Yes and climate change, also caused by people, is going to more than damage a whole shitload of world heritage.
I wonder if increased heat or any other manner of fucked up weather patterns could damage Stonehenge?
Demolising heritage is what IS did in the levant...
They'd better paint the Chinese Wall since that country can change alot more than the west.
Oh shit, was it that easy to fix climate change? To vandalize heritage sites was all it took?
It's clearly not enough.
Well I'd argue it does nothing. In fact, it probably is counter productive, so instead of nothing it does the opposite
Ah yes, it's holding back the massive sweeping wave of change currently going on to fix climate change.
No, don't be a dumbass. It's raising awareness, because it's obvious nobody is giving a shit about this really fucking massive problem that is directly on our doorstep. Painting Stonehenge isn't going to accomplish anything except be a nuisance, but being a nuisance is how you compel people to get shit done non-violently. MLK and his sit-ins pushed civil rights forward by being a nuisance. Gandhi pushed Britain out of India by being a nuisance. If you accept the status quo, the status quo will remain. You have to get out and make noise and attract a following if you want the folks in charge to pay attention to your existence.
Trust me, you want them painting on Stonehenge for attention. This is the non-violent option. When this is ignored long enough, the non-violent option will be shelved and that's when people will suddenly start paying attention.

You would accomplish much more by voting and getting two people under 30 years old to do the same.
Also I missed the part of the civil rights movement where they blocked ambulances and threw paint on stone hedge.
Just murk an oil exec or two. I care far more about not risking damaging cultural atifacts than some random I dont know.
