My view is that people are too interested in making political hay with climate change to actually do something about it. It's better to have a vague threat you can roll out to get votes (I mean this for both sides) than just getting on with some action.
Technological solutions that provide for where we are in human progress are really the only non-partisan way to proceed. This means getting over the evidentiary burden (i don't care of there is some chance climate change is not happening or not caused by humans) and looking at energy solutions as you've mentioned as well as carbon capture solutions.
Fighting in the weeds about which study says what is irrelevant, and trying to walk back from human progress and implement some kind of climate socialism is an obvious non starter, so let's tackle this as a technological solution that is within reach, and get on with it. Unfortunately, this doesn't really increase any one/groups immediate power, so nobody advocates for it
