There's an article I can't find about this way of thinking. I'm not saying your point is not valid to a degree, but we need way more than cynicism right now.
You can be as pessimistic as you want in regards to this, but this isn't the time to peck at this cause; it's time to join it or at least endorse it vocally.
It's not a fight to rile against University costs or stopping a war. It's our environment. It collapses, we die. It will recover. We won't.If these protests highlight or push for a drastic and rapid change in any way or form, then its done its job.

When has a protest changed anything. The suffrogetes protesting did not get woman the vote. World war one did that. If we were serious about climate change we would building new houses prefab and stop using so much cement, concrete and bricks in construction. Not only more thermally efficient bit quicker and cheaper to build with lower emissions.
Protest like this preach to the converted and make the converted feel better about them selves.
