So they have this cause that they really believe in (if I'm taking them at face value). They seriously believe we're heading for global extinction and catastrophe of biblical proportions. But, they disband themselves because their membership and participation is "too white"? That doesn't make sense. I'm sure they weren't actively denying people of color access to their organization or blocking them from participation, so the issue with that dynamic falls flat.
So they disband their own org to fight against an existential threat out of some misguided concepts. The inanity of this ideology is just astounding.

The Auckland, New Zealand, chapter of a climate organization inspired by activist Greta Thunberg disbanded itself on Saturday because it was a “racist,” “white-dominated space,” the group announced in a Facebook post on Saturday.
School Strike 4 Climate, a movement of student protests against global warming, began in the wake of Thunberg’s activism and ballooned into widespread student strikes in 2019. Around 20,000 New Zealand students went on strike in March 2019, organized by School Strike New Zealand, which describes itself as “the New Zealand movement of Greta Thunberg’s strikes in Europe.”
The Auckland branch of the group said on Saturday that it had agreed to dissolve.
“BIPOC communities are disproportionately affected by climate change, so the fight for climate justice should be led by their voices and needs, not Pākehā [white New Zealander] ones,” the group wrote on Facebook. “We are disbanding because, since 2019, SS4C AKL (as well as the wider national group, though we can’t speak on their behalf) has been a racist, white-dominated space.”

The organization apologized ‘for the hurt, burnout, and trauma caused to many BIPOC individuals.’
