If you accept climate change is real, and accept we need to tackle the problem, the simplest and most powerful solution would be coordinated action. However, we are stuck in a prisoners dilemma, because people with your attitude will not stop, will not change, and if that is say 1/100 people then it becomes unbearable for the other 99, socially and economically, to commit to the plan.
I'm not sure I can convince you otherwise. If memory serves, even Socrates reached an impasse with Thrasymachus.
