>uninhabitable in a couple of decades
This is hyperbole, the Earth will be habitable for a very long time no matter what humans do. Using fear like that is the type of thing that ultimately hurts your cause. For example people who grew up hearing about how the ice caps were going to melt by 2020 and that Los Angeles would be underwater become more skeptical when they grow up and see that none of those scary predictions came to pass.
If you want to be taken seriously it is probably a good idea to dial back the “end is nigh” language.
Also suggesting solutions like banning meat, forcing people to buy solar panels (like in California), or instating regressive taxes that hurt poor people the most (California just added yet another tax on gasoline) are just not going to work.
Normal people see WEF talks about eating bugs and banning meat and think your cause is insane and dangerous. Honestly, they are mostly correct.
