Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Sure, I would have stopped the fire, if only the fire alarm wasn't that loud and unpleasent.
The school I went to got destroyed in a flood, people die in my city due to heat in summer. It is already acute, but people choose to ignore it. Eco systems are under immense pressure all around the world. This is not something in a far away future, it is happening right now.
What are you doing to help with the systemic change we need?
…you know over 1300 people died during a heat wave, like, a week ago, right? And that wildfires are tearing through he goddamn arctic circle right now? The fuck you think this isn’t acute. You just don’t see it yet because it’s affecting the global south, aka, the poorer, darker skinned countries. Asshole.
Man's sat here on negative votes talking about being simple lol.
Have you considered you aren't the target of the actions they're taking?
Their cause is constantly in the news every time they do this, I'd say they're doing a hell of a good job.
They aren't 'bringing awareness to climate change' they're saying 'stop dissociating and pay attention to this' and it's working.
"you won't get me on your side without actual evidence that this destructive behavior is doing more good than harm regarding the issue."
Oh no, sad noises, the vile hater won't support the only people trying to make a difference. May as well pack up, go home and wait for the world to end.
Shut up mate, you look stupid, you spell like a fool, and you're honestly an example of everything that's wrong with this world.
In the 1990s everyone was very polite about it and nothing happened.
"Anti climate" Phew lad, you need to stop already, you've already proven your point.

That's a self fulfilling prophecy, isn't it? The effect you describe would not be there if it wasn't for comments like this. Or at the very least, these comments make the effect bigger.
Have a better idea?
A better idea than torching the public support that was painstakingly earned over decades? I guess every idea is better.
The things that have done absolutely nothing for the last 4 decades? Yeah lets keep doing it, maybe this decade guys
Okay, but we do also have to break things because the legal channels aren't good enough. If they were sufficient, we wouldn't be here, now.
Do you? Have you read any history books? Do you know how your rights were attained?
You'd despise the suffragettes
I disagree that what they are doing brings any negative consequence to the movement though. Most of them are kids with no real choice. They can't join a party. Heck, most can't even vote. All the things you said are important and they are being done.
It's such a shame it's all of our collective necks that boot you're licking so enthusiastically is stomping on, not just yours.
Doubtful.
