That's the message they're getting across. 'you think this is bad, just wait'. Its not just low lying pacific rim islands that are at threat.
Yes, I get the idea behind that, and it is in principle entirely true of course. The problem is that being right doesn't mean that your methods necessarily work out. And especially if you are trying to actually achieve change, just pissing off a few people using the tube is not constructive at all, it might very well be the opposite.

To be fair to @punkture (and XR) their tactic is to cause widespread problems. Climate change will effect everyone, even people on DLR and those financing wind arrays. That's the message they're getting across. 'you think this is bad, just wait'. Its not just low lying pacific rim islands that are at threat.
There's always going to be people that think they are doing enough, and that they don't need to be doing more, but those people aren't in XR - these people want to do anything they can. So until there is a more concrete plan than carrying on hoping google and bp will fix everything, they're doing anything! I don't see why that's so hard to understand. I think if someone said 'don't do that, do this' they would. But just saying 'don't do that' isn't enough.
