in-your-face activists reminding society that there's a clear and immediate threat

I know it's a clear an immediate threat, but their tactics won't make anyone who doesn't already want to do something about it change their mind, and will probably make a lot of people who would have tried to do something give up in shame and disgust (to the point that I'm 99.9% certain that any one of them who isn't too stupid to know where their own arse is is being paid by big oil to make actual climate activists look like particularly moronic terrorists).

Personally it makes me wish the lunatics in the white house or the kremlin would nuke Antarctica, hoping that these absolute imbeciles will drown with the rest of us.
