If enough people "spit on the fire" it will go out. And of course, the people spitting on the fire are the same people sounding the fire alarm.

I'm with though, people are too selfish and too short sighted to be mildly inconvenienced to spit on the fire and some government action needs to happen, I guess all we can do is be vocal about it and hope people cause science friendly politicians come election time

You need to look at the size of the fire and how much spit everyone can produce. It might not be a viable solution. If so we, we should focus our energies on other solutions.

If we want to to beat climate change, we have to do the math. And then check it twice.
