    You’re right, that’s why thanks to those brave protesters, climate change is now a thing of the past! Oh, wait…

        What an extraordinarily stupid argument.

        Gee, thanks. We need people to actually do something tangible and useful, not teenage histrionics directed at completely irrelevant things. For example, I volunteer with a group that recently obtained protection for a large wetland in my area. That’s something that directly impacts climate change and biodiversity. I also volunteer with my local green party which has successfully passed several pieces of environmental protection legislation. What have you personally done to help other than whine online and throw paint at inanimate objects?

          Wow you’re so great! thanks to you, climate change is now a thing of the past! Oh, wait…

          (obviously, in jest. that’s great you do that. You probably should’ve said something like that to begin with)
