The way things are going I suspect we will reach a tipping point where environmental organizations will start to have violent fringes and start to target carbon emitting corporate boards and C-levels.

Probably falling into the same mechanics of radicalization/conversion you have seen before with Middle-eastern groups and more recently with far-right groups.

There are already environmental extremists, they're quite a small fringe so far.

Personally, I haven’t seen a better option to cause change.
