For the past 40 years we've viewed climate change as a political problem (see "Losing Earth" from the NY Times for a history of this [1].) Like you, I no longer have any faith that politicians will be able to solve the problem. As the NYT research revealed, politicians generally only take on a cause when there is a viable solution... and frankly there isn't a great solution yet. Solar and wind help a good bit. Nuclear would be a fine option but as a society we are apparently uncomfortable with it... Our politicians don't really have a good enough, complete enough option. At Charm Industrial [2] we started with a different question that at first seems silly: is it possible to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a profit? We assumed the answer would be no, but to our surprise we couldn't convince ourselves of that. We found a pathway (purpose-grown biomass --> gasification --> hydrocarbons + geological CO2 sequestration) that seems to have high-scale profit potential. And if you can be profitable, then effectively unlimited amounts of private capital are available.

And we'd love to see others tackle the problem from the perspective of high-scale, viable economics. Is it possible to sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at a profit?
