Record sentences for climate protestors in England and Uganda, criminalization in Germany.
Examples:
The real criminals are the fossil fuel industry and the politicians allowing them to destroy our world for their own profit.
I mean, I get that the "forming a terrorist group" charge is probably excessive, but you're only going to make people hate you (and by extension, your cause) by blocking highways. People literally need those, particularly ambulances and other emergency services.
Blocking airport runways and vandalizing priceless pieces of history will also make people hate you. Just Stop Oil is Big Oil's dream activist group.
What else? You could always try educating people about the relevant facts and convincing them that your proposed solutions are the best way forward. This meme would work just as well if you changed the caption on the right to say 'Climate activists blocking roads and getting into fights with paintings'.
Education has been tried for about 50 years and hasn't worked. I would have preferred if it did.
Activism and civil disobedience has historically worked. Civil rights, suffragettes, Ghandi just as some examples. And it is working right now, even if it's not obvious. For example https://ssir.org/articles/entry/protest_movements_could_be_more_effective_than_the_best_charities
