Of course they are a political lobbying group! No shame in that, if they weren't they would be stupid.
Shouting and arguing is how human beings deliberate since the beginning of our species - and it's how plenty of things have gotten done historically.
Waiting until your age of enlightened and reasoned debate around climate issues comes ensures that you never have to take action at all, which, I suspect, might be your point.
Action is worth a thousand words. Take it and sensible men will follow. Be the change you want to see in the world not the people arguing about it.
Take public transport. Repair rather than discard. Take up a new skill and improve a thing rather than buying a new one.
Reduce you own energy footprint (frankly given how at turns into more money in your pocket this should be common sense not a talking point among midwits).
I'm not talking about going off the grid and living off turnips. Make 90% changes and then share these with others to enable and empower them to do the same.

What if humanity has run into a problem where that is not enough to solve the problem? What if the true (but unknowable) state of affairs is that our traditional ways of communicating, even at their best, are not enough?
What if it's even worse, what if our traditional ways of collective decision making are also not enough? Or even more worse, what if the very way we traditionally think must be improved adequately in order to adequately address this problem?
As a thought experiment, imagine that these premises are literally true...what shall we do? What are some plausibly adequate responses to this set of problems?
