can't believe the cast of Grace & Frankie has done more for climate change than congress hashttps://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2019/10/18/jane-fonda-sam-waterston-arrested-climate-change-protest-dc/4022842002/ …
You’re being really weird and restrictive about language there. “Climate change” here means the cause of climate change as it affects us and the planet. It’s not that complicated.

Sorry, I'm no native speaker. But I guess there's a difference between 1. protecting the climate and 2. causing climate change or not? I mean, I think I get the point of the tweet, so it's not so important but anyway, it's not correct to put it that way or am I wrong?

You could call the phrasing in the tweet “casual” but you couldn’t, I think, call it wrong. Native English speakers use shorthand constructions like this all the time and know the meaning will be clear because of context.
