yeah, climate change ain’t real. At least, that’s what the morons in the world would have you think.

Not morons, greedy.
The message of “global warming is not real” is not sent by morons, it is sent by industrial groups who want to keep making a profit. They do have the marketing machinery to push this narrative. The “morons” have zero pushing power for any narrative.

If you aren’t fighting conservatism, you aren’t fighting climate change.

If you aren’t vegan, you aren’t fighting climate change.

Oh, lordy, please don’t phrase it like that. Your heart is in the right place, but people won’t hear such a direct attack on their way of life. Try to be encouraging and we may all benefit. Like they say, “Don’t make ‘perfect’ the enemy of ‘good’.”
Example: I am not vegan. I’m not even vegetarian, but because I live with a vegetarian I don’t eat much meat. When I do, my better half is kind about it, saying things like, “It’s okay. I know you’ve really cut back on meat and that helps.” Instead of making me angry, sentiment like that makes we want to cut down further.
