It’s ridiculously inappropriate for climate protesters to attack museums and artworks. They should be going after car dealerships, gas stations, and the like, not creative works that have no direct impact on the environment.
That's why I think this is an astroturf from the energy corporations. The ones organizing them are not climate activists but right wingers looking to discredit any kind of climate activism.
Oh the people there in the ground might be true believers and just dumb, but someone is funding and pulling their strings.
As much as I'd love to believe you're right, I can't rule out "sheer ignorance" from the equation... I've talked to climate activists who were truly detached from reality. For instance, one thought the only use of "nuclear" was in context to weapons, seemingly ignorant of it's peaceful uses for energy.
