Sure. But it's a two way street. Climate change is important but you don't realistically solve it by stopping everything coal powered tomorrow. You have to gradually introduce it.
I don't know if it's a younger generation thing, but they're not patient and demand change now when it's just not realistic. Change is glacially slow. Voting in something that's not ideal is better than voting in something completely opposite.
The more you allow that left or moderate side to win, the more the axis changes towards it, which is still a win if you're left/moderate as it moves it away from the right. It's this last bit some people don't understand.
