Their actions aren't "too extreme" they're too _arbitrary_. Attempting to vandalize paintings isn't helping anything. From what I've seen the media attention has been on how immature environmentalists are, not anything related to required environmental changes.

There is already widespread awareness that something needs to change and these tantrums are just noise drowning out any useful signal.

I've seen no reports of any serious attenpt to vandalise a painting, get a grip.

In every case it's been attention grabbing performance "art" involving a famous glass covered painting.

An actual attempt to actually vandalise would look very different.
