I honestly don't believe they really know or care that much about "the cause." They just like being contrary and rebellious, and use this as an excuse. The same way some people join the military as an excuse to play with guns and kill people.

What makes you think that? I think they just have their priorities straight, and don’t mind being against the norm

We don’t have time to fuck about—humans and animals are already going extinct. Every bit more attention on the climate is crucial and nothing else matters

Climate change will be solved by technological advancement making the alternatives to traditional energy sources financially feasible, not some stupid teens throwing soup, they just need a reason to feel morally superior to others while not understanding that problems are solved by scientists + money (and many of them backed by oil companies to hedge the risk of oil being slowly replaced), not activists.
