I kind of agree with parent poster.

Currently the message could be summarized thus: "Everything bad you see in the news is due to climate change, if you don't stop driving and using straws, we're all gonna die!!"

People don't believe that and if they do, they're like, well, were done. What can I do, I'm only one.

Instead they should be aiming at the number one culprits, industrial processes and population growth... but they don't do pop growth because it's touchy because it would affect some countries more than others, they don't touch industry because... I don't know, but we know the consumer end of this is not the low hanging fruit or the most impactful target, yet this is where they spend their time and money.

They also like attacking big oil from the 70s because they influenced bad policies (granted) but speak nothing of activists who killed Nuclear (I guess few would own up to their own mistakes) --which would have dampened fossil fuel use.
