Bring fatalistic is part of the problem and rarely part of any solutions. I know for sure that the people who do nothing will achieve nothing. Wait and see is not a viable strategy to get anything done. The simple reality is that we have already demonstrated that we can drastically modify climate in a very short time span. Not for the better unfortunately and arguably unintentionally. But how did that happen? Simple: economics. Dangling a carrot in front of people gets them acting really quickly and enthusiastically. We started burning fossil fuels at a truly massive scale during the industrial revolution. Basically, getting to zero carbon is now about economic survival. Doing so has some nice side effects like reducing emissions. But it's basically gone from wouldn't it be cute to have some solar panels on my roof to, I'd better put some solar panels on my roof because I'll be paying through my nose for gas and save buckets of money. Nothing like some economic incentives to get even the most staunch climate change deniers investing in roof top solar and other solutions. Now world + dog is installing batteries, solar, wind mills, etc. Not because they are cute but because they provide something desirable: cheap energy. Ever since the cost curves crossed, people have an insatiable demand for this stuff. To the point where once ambitious and seemingly infeasible goals for carbon reduction are being moved forward. Because reality is out pacing ambition. Even the most optimistic predictions a decade ago are now being surpassed. That's a trick that can be repeated. Identify some solutions, make it profitable for people to implement those. Sit back and relax while they get really creative doing those things and working out better ways to do those things. It worked for energy. It's working for transport (EVs are booming nicely). It could work for agriculture, and other sectors. There's a lot that is enabled by cheap plentiful energy too and we're starting to get that. Renewable energy is pretty awesome from a cost point of view. Actively reducing carbon in our atmosphere is the next big challenge. If you look at it from an economical point of view the simple reality is that capturing carbon is a lot of work without a lot of economic reward. There are plenty of ways to do this technically but the main challenge is incentivizing people to start doing those things at scale. Letting nature take its course is going to take too long. So, the key challenge is figuring out the economics. Once we nail that, the rest might happen rapidly.
