People aren't causing global warming
Oh well it's too late to do anything about it now
We've been in this pandemic for over 2 years. Plenty time for people to have done something about it. They went and did the opposite though. Obesity levels went up over the last 2 years.
If any single person held all of those positions simultaneously, then you might have an argument. But the person who claims it is too late to act does not deny that it is real. That is why it is a pointless observation.
The people who you describe as "freaking out" over the suggestion to lose weight, are not denying that obesity is a problem, only that the time to do something about it was years before this happened, and that it does not help the situation now.
It is like advocating for better sanitation and food handling practices in Chinese wet markets, like it is going to solve COVID-19 today. Sorry, dude, but that is closing the barn door after the horses have already bolted. It is too late for that.
You are not offering any useful advice, you are just using the opportunity to shame people for being fat. Literally who gives a shit? They chose the behaviors that led to them being obese, and in choosing those behaviors, they chose the consequences that come along with it. Let them eat cake.
