    The guys doing Stonehenge at least tried. They used a powder they thought would just come off in the rain.

        The Stone Henge people are saying that the water, lichen, and powder would have reacted badly. I do not have the education to know if that’s true or not.

          Strangley, 2 days ago they said they’ll have to get the experts out to have a look at it, before they can tell.

          What a very quick turnaround that, apparently, was…

          Meh.

          Their job is to defend stonehenge at all costs. They wouldn’t let people look at it if they could get away with it.

          Of course they’re going to say that the powder is reckless and could potentially upset the lichen or something.

          It’s hard to believe that this stunt could have any measurable impact in another 10 years or so.

          They’re probably just a bunch of upset babies blowing everything out of proportion, of course they would go to the most unlikely and extreme outcome.

          Nor did the protesters I would guess.

            Neither do the media outlets, but that’s the story their running with because the oil companies run ads on their networks.

      Tried what?

      Give rich oil producer execs something to laugh at and say “See how silly they are? THAT is supposed to show climate change is real? It’s all nonsense, pass the coke”

      You want to get attention AND piss on the right people? Then go after their big toys. Go after their airplanes. That’s something humanity could get behind, not you trying to destroy priceless art, or historical sites.

        Nobody cares what the oil executives think. A protest isn’t going to make them stop producing and selling oil. And if they tried the system would dump them and bring in the next guy. Protests like this are about raising the public’s awareness and you seem pretty aware now.
