What lies do you think we're being told exactly? The talks of solutions have been going on for decades it's just very hard to get different governments to agree to anything even if it's non binding. Have a look at the Paris agreement and the history of failed agreements that preceded it for more information.

I believe the parent comment is referring to the lip service that politicians and business-people pay to decarbonizing, while they do very little in actuality to achieve those goals. For instance, the USA talked of the clean power plan and used it as leverage for the Paris Accords. And yet, that policy never went into effect: it was blocked by the courts and then abandoned by the current administration.
