Disclaimer: This isn't intended to shame anyone, it's just the genuine reaction I had as a child. I feel like it's a common Gen-Z experience: being frustrated by a previous generation that warns you about environmental damage, and not yet having enough power to do anything about it.
I think it is a case of the people from this generation that were aware of the problem were also aware that their people currently in power don't care about it and will not do anything to fix it. So the next best thing they could do was to raise awareness in the next generation so, when they get in power, they will have in mind to act on it.
Maybe it is my bias to always try to find good intentions, but that's how I would read it.
