It could also be the case that having a high profile individual at your protest makes that protest larger and gains attention or would not have otherwise had.

It's better than just lobbing orange paint around, or blocking a major motorway.

At this point I suspect the public are sick of the "world is dying" message. Most people are struggling to get through life, without being told every day that they're killing the planet. Most people can't just magic £30k out of their arse to buy an electric car or heatpump.

Unless you're willing to physically harm the handful of people that can actually change anything (and I'm certainly not), there just isn't a lot that a normal person can do about any of it.
