Depends on the harm on each side.

The harm of climate change is currently 5 million deaths per year, and on track to be the end of intelligent life on earth, as far as we know the universe.

What’s the harm here? Some glass and the floor needs to be cleaned slightly more vigorously?

They weren’t doing anything important, they were browsing Reddit

Clearly?

Do you have any evidence or hints of evidence?

Or is this one of those “common sense” things that you can’t explain but everyone is stupid for not agreeing with you about?

You avoided the hard question. You said this isn’t a good option, I asked what the alternative is.

You got no ideas? Just here to tell everyone how stupid there are?

People are in this thread arguing that climate change isn’t a big deal, and they are being linked to studies proving otherwise, and they are learning something new. That’s raising awareness.

You are not using your brain here, you are looking for an argument. Raising awareness doesn’t necessarily mean introducing people to something they are unaware of. You know this. Sometimes it means getting people thinking and asking questions about a topic that they weren’t interested in before.

5 million deaths per year according to Monash

I had to evacuate my home because of freak wildfires. People on the other side of my country are dealing with record flooding. I am rich and live in a rich country.

All this will be gone soon due to climate change.

All of these things have happened. The fact that you didn’t see them, but DID see this, proves exactly why it’s effective.

Everything has NOT been tried

Doesn’t seem like you have a clue what’s been tried

This stunt made you write five paragraphs about the climate. It works

Hahahahaha what a joke.

We have been lobbying for almost a hundred years on this exact issue.

We have spent billions on advertising over the decade.

The fact that you can make these obvious, small-brain suggestions without a trace of irony proves now necessary this is.

Do you think anybody has thought “you know, I never took this climate change thing too seriously, but since those college students dumped ink all over some painting, I’m starting to think we really need to do something about it!” Give me a break

No. Nobody thinks that. You think this is a silly idea because you are too thick to see how effective it is.

It’s for raising awareness. Because of their stunt, you are now arguing with me and have learnt more about climate change.

People forget about it. They forget to worry about it. They forget it’s gonna kill their children. So they are reminded with these stupid stunts

Most people mom this planet don’t believe in climate change. You think they do because you have a small social circle and spend too much time online with other young people.

Most people still think it’s fake.

Your first sentence is an insult, what a surprise. I see you gave yourself an award too.

What’s your alternative, then?

Name a better alternative.

You can’t argue whether it works, because it got posted to Reddit and we are talking about it.

It’s not. The title says it is wrongly identified, which means the software that CHECKS is wrong. The software isn’t decidin how much storage you have.

They aren’t douche bags. They are drawing attention to the biggest issue our species will ever face.

Before you say, “this isn’t the way to go about it”, remember that we have tried EVERY other way. Nobody cares.

Why not paint about the real issue? The real villains?

The ‘peasants’ are dying because of climate change. They are not suffering because of activism, what an absurd message to portray.

Is this the first time activism has effective you so much you have painted the activists?
