I genuinely don't know what else they're supposed to do. People flat out don't care about climate change despite the fact that we're already seeing the effects.


That's why the they are taking extreme measures, what good is preserving history if we're all dead because the transatlantic conveyor stops, the ice caps melt, and the honeybees die.

Protesters have been doing shit for decades, nobody cared until they started getting violent. As Donald Trump proved, sometimes the only way to win is to piss people off


Just to play devils advocate here, in their view all our historical monuments aren't going to mean shit if human life can't survive on the planet. So some paint on a rock isn't really a big deal in the bigger picture.


The Stonehenge site is about to be irritably damaged and no one really cares. They're going to dig a tunnel and put a road under it, destroying untold amounts of ancient history. This will also add more lanes, which will fuel climate change. It will also mean there is no legal way to view the site for free, history will be turned into a ticketed location, while anything we could learn will be destroyed or damaged.

The paint will wash off in a few days, the tunnel and increased CO2 cannot be undone.

That project was cancelled this year, and assaulting a World Heritage site to make a statement is the dumbest thing anyone has ever done on this planet full of stupid people doing stupid things, so bravo.

These people really are the worst. Defacing ancient monuments is something evil people do.

And oil companies knowingly causing global destruction are grand are they? Give your head a wobble


Just curious what happens to anyone responsible for the massive oil spills all around the world.
