We can do something about this at government level, and especially with many governments working together.
Individuals can just make their own lives poorer with nothing to show for it.
Governments are for large scale action where individual action is meaningless -- the army, protection against national disasters like floods, and action against global warming.
Unfortunately the government of the largest polluter is hopelessly corrupt.
