      But we’re not talking about it. We’re not talking about political action, or technological solutions, or mitigation programs, or investments in adaptation, or natural resource management, or harm reduction, or food distribution, or drought management.

      No, we’re talking about a bunch of first world children who decided to paint a bunch of ten-thousand year old rocks for attention.

          will soon wash away with the rain…"

          Just like any attention they may have grabbed due to their stunt.

            For the record, I’m not saying I agree with their methods, but I don’t think it’s fair to them either that everyone is acting like they did irreparable harm to the monument.

      Which does exactly what? Is it at all likely that anyone actually able to do anything about this was unaware of the climate change disaster we’re facing and this will change their mind?

      Note how we are talking about how large of douchebags the activists are and just how much they damaged a cultural heritage site.

      Fuck these people.

          Yeah. That’s their intent. But they really don’t know for sure that their stunt won’t have some completely unexpected effect. Some slow reaction with that specific kind of stone that only matters if the powder gets deep into some cracks for 200 years or whatever. Or attracts stone eating bacteria of some sort.

          The point is that they dont know what they dont know. Every time they pull one of these stunts, they are introducing the risk of irrevocable damage to historically significant objects that should be left to future generations.

          Stop fucking around with human history. Stone Henge is a world wonder.
