It doesn't help several of these protests have been proven to be started BY polluting companies to discredit climate protests.

Where did you get that information? Didn't here that before.

They're pretending to fund these groups because they care about the environment but it's obvious all they're doing is paying radicals to create hate for environmental groups.

Or you fell for the propaganda that's discrediting them.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter. Far too little is being done against climate change, on every level - socially, politically, economically, individually. One would have to wonder what the fuck is happening if we didn't have some form of protest. They are necessarily going to become more extreme as time goes by, and they will have every right to do so.
