Spreading misinformation is a threat to future generations.
There was a viral photo of trash left on a field that was supposedly from protesters. The ohoto wasnt from a protest, and the photo wasn’t even in Australia where it was said to take place.
And it was posted by the youth coal coalition of Australia..
Thats what is being fought against.
A polarizing issue always attracts a contingent of zealots and over-simplifiers; but the basic nature of the audience makes this tactic far more attractive to the Left who, as a whole, are younger and more prone to emotionalism. ("Waddabout da polar bearth, Daddy?")
In this instance it was the zealots of the Looney Right who got caught with their pants down:
Uh, I live in Hawaii and loss of coral here is a big deal. To say it isn't happening, or that it is due to cold water is just pure lunacy. I see dead coral every time I go out in the ocean.
Nature will adapt as it always has throughout history. Dying coral isn’t Armageddon or the end of the world.

With natural climate change, life has a chance to adapt. Climate change that happens faster because it’s accelerated, life cant adapt and animals die off and thats what is happening..
Life cannot adapt if its dying in massive amounts..
Why do they like to constantly use the 10-12 years claim?
Because it gives them enough time to change their minds, move the goalposts and cite advances in science for their "miscalculations".
Or, if they happen to gain power and get some of their ludicrous ideas passed into law, they can stand there in the non-Armageddon future and say "see, we saved the planet"!
I’m not a climate change denier, but I am a climate change end of humanity denier. I keep seeing more and more uproar about climate change, yet still no cities being swallowed up by rising sea levels or Armageddon. No coastal cities preparing and with plenty of new construction on the coasts. And the less Armageddon I see and the more prostests, the less I believe it’s much to worry about. Even if it is, technology will eventually solve our Carbon emission problems.
Then I see the news covering kids protesting. What do kids know? They know what they are told by adults and know nothing about life, science, and politics. Are kids supposed to convince me of something or touch my heart?
I’m 51 and I’m betting it won’t happen in my lifetime maybe the next generation it will but the point is to get ahead of it. Don’t listen to these fathead politicians who say we have X number of years, no one really knows.

It's funny how it works. You make a change and don't hit the ice burg because you diverted course then you get spat on by folks saying "see? there was no ice burg "..
Ya, your bleepin' welcome..?

Yes given enough time new things evolve. But that is 1000's of years. Evolution works slowly. I want to enjoy the life that we have here now and not see it all die off.
CO2 has gone from ~260 to + 400ppm....temp has increased 0.8 degrees....nothing has died off from a increase in CO2
