Climate change does not care about ideology, psychology, or any of the issues you listed. It's a problem that affects literally everyone, and it needs solving.

  Right. But the solutions can't impact the environment, or the developing world, or the disadvantaged. It's pretty obvious that the US, UK, and Commonwealth countries are going to be expected to disrupt their lives and economies while the rest of the world dithers and screams that not enough is being done.

    Who are you arguing with? Because I'm pretty sure climate change cannot hear your complaints or arguments. It's just going to do what it does, destroying your world and that of your children, while you argue about... commonwealth, I don't know.

      If climate change is a manmade problem than you cannot ignore politics, psychology, etc. in the solution. Otherwise 'nuke China' is more of a solution than 'tax carbon' is.

  Problem is that a lot of activists and politicians don't want to solve it -- they instead spend time replacing nuclear with coal, tacking on unrelated social issues and so on. All of those are about power, and correlate with taking the problem seriously and solving anything only by accident if at all. In other words -- climate change is not the game they are playing to win.
