Is sabotage an effective tactic for climate activism?

Climate activists are gluing themselves to gallery walls and throwing soup at masterpieces. They say their aim is to force people to pay attention to the environmental crisis. But it’s not obvious that they're increasing their support as a result. In cities across Europe, from Madrid to London, protesters are resorting to new tactics. It’s not just about throwing food in galleries, but also stopping traffic on major roads causing massive disruption. Is this a strategy that wins, or loses, the sympathy of the public?
