Superman being at a protest kind of makes sense in some cases, if Mr Invincible Laser Eyes starts marching up and down the street campaigning for a specific law or policy agenda that law or agenda probably gets passed and he didn't have to hurt anyone or violate any civil norms to do it, but if Super Man wanted to stop climate change he should simply do it, it makes sense both within the fiction and the metafiction of how superman stories are usually written. Stopping a giant planetary scale environmental disaster is right up Superman's alley.
I haven't read anything from DC in a long time, but this sort of shit only makes any sort of sense if Jon Kent in this issue is orders of magnitude less powerful than superman usually is or is somehow more serious about the Prime Directive as it applies to earthlings than any Star Trek captain we've ever seen.

Superman absolutely obliterating the Amazon rainforest and several South American countries to stop climate change is some amazing irony.
SMBC did a comic on that idea a few years ago
