Everyone is aware of climate change. Stunts like this don't raise awareness, but they do make climate activists look like fools. Coke doesn't raise awareness for their product by dumping hundreds of gallons of Coke into the Mississippi River, they advertise.

But you're aware of it. It's relatively harmless and resulted in widespread news coverage. It's brilliant. Protests in the streets haven't been covered appropriately by news media, if at all. This was at least reported (though in this cause for a different cause).

I was aware of it before. It's like brain cancer awareness month: it isn't like people had no idea brain cancer existed until May.
