Such mindless activism is what drives away popular opinion from climate change.

Lot of folks have SUVs because they have large families. Its a pain to keep a huge car in a city like NYC or London anyway so people generally have reasons. There were a wave of such tire puncture incidents in NYC which forced some people to drive 30-40 miles every week to park the car in suburb or NJ (parking in city is very expensive)

The end result was more emission, more pain and less sympathy for the actual problem.
