"why climate activists are turning to sabotage instead of protest"
...is the wrong and irrelevant question because any such sabotage is bound to be ineffective and perceived as antagonistic by the masses, and correctly so. Why do they see themselves existing apart from the fossil fuel based economy? Why do they believe hydrocarbons and the corporations producing them are the problem to be "solved", in and of themselves, in isolation from the rest of society and the economy and of course, climate "activists"? Why are such sabotages most common in countries that are historically Protestant, a religion that individualizes sin and compartmentalizes guilt i.e, the individual decides what he is guilty of and determines his own penance? One thing I've noticed about climate activism is that (esp young) people who really commit to it tend to get used up and discarded by the people who really matter, i.e those who are able and willing to build careers out of it.
E- just to clarify, the term "the individual" as used in my brief comment on Protestantism refers to individuals who really matter, i.e not peasants, proles, slaves or servants.
