Provocation gets eyes.

But are people actually talking about climate change or are they talking about whether or not the protestors were idiots?

I have to agree. Every time this group makes the news, the conversation isn't about climate change. It's about how these people are defacing beloved historical works of art. They don't discuss the climate at all; they just discuss what these people are targeting. And there is no link between the message and the target.
