Across Europe, radical self-declared climate activists are blocking roads and vandalizing businesses, banks, and government institutions. Some have glued themselves to world-heritage works of art. Paintings by Van Gogh, Monet, and Vermeer, valued at hundreds of millions of euros, have been attacked and damaged by groups such as Just Stop Oil and Last Generation, who believe these acts are justified in the pursuit of urgent ecological ends.
Environmentalist groups gain huge publicity through such tactics, but will that be enough for their radical fringes? How might their tactics evolve?
