Well, are you folks serious or not? How about stop heating your homes in winter? You don't want to do that, either?
Or... stop eating beef. Livestock is responsible for 14.5% of greenhouse gasses and the vast majority of that is beef... whereas air travel is between 600-900 million tons depending on who you ask. There were something like 33,500 billion tons of CO2 emitted in 2020... Air travel is like 1-3% depending on how you measure it.

These young people see the existential crisis that is headed our way. One that has the potential to kill hundreds of
millions of people. One that is recognized, but our society seems hell-bent on careening towards regardless. They feel disempowered to do anything about it, and spraying chalk dust on Stonehenge seems like an infinitely small price to pay for the publicity it garners.

I was less upset when it turned out to be dust. And the Mona Lisa has been behind plexiglass for years. Woke vandalism, you might say.

I'd like to know some details about what they see. They have something to hip us all about? Hundreds of millions of people have already been killed. Why should their lives be any different? They have to screw me over in the meantime? They get to slide? There are umpteen "Twilight Zone" episodes that feature human paranoia.
