Shame they didn’t do this to John Kerry’s or Al Gore’s private jets, I guess they only target private aircraft used for real businesses. What a bunch of dorks wasting time and money destroying property instead of using their resources to really helping the environment.
if you take care of the little things the large things will take care of them selves. just send them into the Coal mines with no sight of sun for twenty years and they will get the point that harming other people's property is not a nice thing to do.
50 years ago, before becoming a pilot, I worked as a hunting guide and packer in the Idaho Primitive area. One December 2nd I had the last load of camp gear loaded on 7 horses and mules. It was 17 miles, mostly downhill, to the ranch HQ in the Middle Fork Salmon. The mercury thermometer in camp said -52°F.
One uphill stretch was a long north facing and steep grade that was a sheet of ice. My lead mare was the most experienced of the string but when she slipped, fell to her knees, and refused to get up I was forced by circumstances to get her attention or watch this dangerously exposed situation unravel quickly. I procured a 4” chunk of seasoned lodgepole windfall and cracked her right between the eyes. She jumped to her feet and we resumed our ride down to the ranch. The story reminds me of the need to get the attention of climate change deniers. 2 x 4’s can also work.
The flight out of Mahoney that afternoon was memorable to say the least. Especially the T/O.

I’m all for technology that reduces carbon. Airlines have been working on it for years with success. As an airline pilot, figured I added 180 tons of carbon to the air every year. Enjoy life without impacting others. Good Flight
If they wanted to disable jet they should have taken it apart instead and taken parts to a recycling facility. Graffiting it will not reduce its environmental impact.
I hope these criminals will be charged the cost of returning the aircraft to the original livery.
