It seems like it depends what you mean by "doomed". Suppose a volcano erupts and lava is flowing towards your town. You can try to stop it or get out of the way.

To an individual person, climate change is like a lava flow. Going at it with a shovel isn't going to do a whole lot. Something larger scale is needed.

So, as you say, we can get involved in politics and try to get the really big scale changes going. But, for individuals, I think figuring out how to get out of the way is more practical.

I wouldn't invest in Florida real estate.
