          JSO are literally employing cult like tactics where their followers are being told that it’s them against the world (and they have exclusive access to the truth).

          No one is denying climate change is an issue the needs addressed. The only thing that is being debated is whether our response is proportionate to the threat. There’s no way that offending ~80% of the population by threatening sacred cows like beloved art and legal documents is a productive approach.

            The art and legal documents are the ones the media(who runs oil ads) decide to put on blast. They don’t report when they dump paint on CEO’s cars. I wonder why?

            Also, protests are suppose to be annoying. Ignorable protests don’t do anything.

            And frankly, there are people dying of heat stroke, crops failing because of unpredictable weather, whole communities getting displaced as sea levels rise or the air dries up. Being mad on behalf for the pieces of paper seems pretty petty.

            They hardly claim to have exclusive access to the truth. Just look at the published research by climate scientists for the past 50 years or more.

            No one is denying climate change is an issue the needs addressed.

            Plenty of people are. My neighbors for instance.

            the question here is why some people here are offended by ruining a piece of paper, but not offended by climate change.

            if you dislike their methods whats the one you are employing?
