How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

For what it's worth, most of those JSO protests have been done in a way that would not damage the actual object. Like the Stonehenge one, it wasn't paint, it was cornflour and food colouring that would just come off in the rain (and was, in the end, removed with just a leafblower). The Magna Carta one actually was doing damage though.
Regardless of that, I don't personally think that they are effective protests. They're far too easy to frame as mindless vandalism.
The lassie in the thumbnail looks like she could be removed with a leaf blower too lol
Definitely feeds her cat on leaves
Severe case of wealth face, but I respect their commitment.

"Father, I am livid"
Mindless vandalism by rich kids who would have gotten stuffed years ago if it weren't for their immense privilege.
How dare they use their privilege to bring attention to the greatest threat to humanity....
Yeah. Would have been better if they just let a crisis that disproportionately affect poor people unfold /s
