Find public spaces with confined, inaccessible, high areas. Get large helium balloons with desired messages on. Inflate helium balloons and allow to float to said confined areas.

The balloon will last because it's difficult to get it down from the inaccessible space. It's harmless enough that nobody can accuse you of anything but troublemaking. When the authorities try to remove it, they will draw extra attention to your prank as they do.

       haha :) the irony in a hot air balloon ad against global warming is awesome.

       A professional air rifle would take care of this pretty quick, and you would be out of a lot of expensive helium.
