Maybe there’s a third option besides “do something ineffectual that most people will find annoying, offensive, and unrelated to climate change” and “completely resign ourselves to a climate disaster” that we can try?
It’s a dire situation and progress isn’t nearly fast enough, but progress is getting made. The answer, as ever, isn’t satisfying because it’s boring and difficult: continue to organize and apply pressure to those in power to take action, and raise awareness by pointing to how it affects people in their own lives. This stunt does neither of those things, and if anything, makes our side look whiny and out of touch.
