    “Picking” the lesser of two evils implies there is some kind of exclusive relationship between climate change and vandalism. As if this action had some kind of effect that counters climate change.

    But it doesn’t.

        Then what are the two evils you’re referring to, and which action are you referring to with picking the lesser evil?

            Right, that’s what I thought you were referring to, and responded to. Ruining stonehenge versus the climate. Or vandalism generally versus the climate.

            We’re not picking between these things. They’re independent variables.
