It's not the wrong subject - it's one of many subjects. And aviation needs to play its part. The young are leading the way because they are losing their futures and watching greedy people living in multiple homes, and adding to their future woes, amongst other things.
Cutting back in many places is necessary because the climate is not going to cool in the lifetimes of the next 2-3 generations. Fewer births, less travel, more insulation, more wind/hydro/wave power - it all contributes to help stop the climate extremes getting worse. And everyone needs to suffer a bit of pain and inconvenience but why can't the super-wealthy who have so much, not be taxed further? They really can't spend it in their lifetimes, unless on superyachts and jets that make things worse. Do people really have an issue if oligarchs have to sell one of their 10 mansions, or reduce the jet fleet to help those who live at sea level avoid more flooding, that doesn't seem much of a sacrifice. Maybe if you still can't see it, have a chat to those coming back from Rhodes, or those who've had their holiday plans ruined by the extreme weather, those that had their homes swept away or burnt to a cinder.
If even 10% of the world becomes inhospitable if not uninhabitable, then the world will be over-run by mass migration that makes todays issue but a scratch.
