    But are their actions causing public outrage at: a) the causes and purveyors of climate change, or b) the people protesting climate change?

    I don’t think the “any attention is good attention” adage applies to something as politically polarized as climate change.

      fair point. I think it is heart breaking that they seem to be losing this battle. No matter what kind of protest they choose, I keep hearing: Well, that‘s not the kind of protest I would support. So yeah, maybe they are at a dead end. But maybe not because they chose the wrong kind of protest, but because the public don‘t want change. Look at the European elections. It seems the other side‘s propaganda works a lot better, yeah.
