Nah - it'll just pivot to "Well it's too late now - no reason to hold back".

I genuinely wonder why eco-terrorism isn't already a meaningful "problem" - I don't mean "some protestors blocked a road for a couple of hours or flinged some paint and soup around" - I mean "You're working to kill all known life in the universe, and we're doing whatever it takes to stop you."

There's no one funding it. If some of the billionaires can direct their money to make renewables adopted in the mainstream we can be in a much better place now. But, you know to have that amount of money the switch that also governs your care for the environment gets switched off too.

The problem is far worse than what any single billionaire can fix. Billions of dollars are being poured into renewable energy infrastructure. It's just that while this is happening, we're also emitting the same amount of CO2 as always. The only long-term resolution of this is de-growth.

Explosives and rifles aren't expensive. There's a reason the best funded military in the world consistently gets slowed up by insurgents.

While big funding would certainly help, this is more an issue of motivation (which expensive media campaigns would certainly help).

I'm not advocating for any of this, but as long as innocents weren't caught up in it, I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep over it either.
