keep public attention high

There it is. You want attention no matter if it's positive or not. Which type of support do you expect to gather by vandalising monuments? Encourage public debate by vandalising monuments?

Normal protests, even if "angrier" would be better than this. Earn peoples' trust and respect

Public attention to the matter of climate change. Sorry that I didn't spell it out for you.

Care to answer my question though? Because if you have not a single idea what form of protest could actually sway the people you claim to want to reach, we can just as well continue with the cornstarch.

Yes I got that but my point still stands, and you're still contradicting yourself.

You should read my last paragraph slower then.

So the people who go "I would have done something, but now that they painted stonehenge I won't" will suddenly change their way when they see "normal protest" as you call them?

Suuuure. Keep telling yourself that. You're not sounding ridiculous at all.
