    It’s not going to change big oil’s mind. Nothing short of torturing executives and hanging their bodies off a bridge will change their minds. But at least this makes people mad which is the next best thing.

      If you plan well, you can, by choosing your targets very carefully, disrupt the board of directors of a major oil company and thus affect its activities for some time. The most direct and effective way to do this, however, is by sabotage. I am not particularly advocating any of these strategies, I firmly believe that the only solution to climate change is socialist revolution, but these kinds of tactics can culminate in a revolutionary movement, while this other one that you say that “makes people mad” apparently does nothing to develop a revolutionary spirit.
