I sympathize with this view, but I think a change in perspective can be really helpful in soothing negativity and bitterness. It's more like we, as "little people", actually have some power to make a collective change that improves our climate and health. Around 42% of energy emissions come from consumers — transport, home heating / cooling, cooking, clothes drying, etc. We are not powerless! It's like the victory gardens of WWII — we can all pitch in together, including industry and government which can play leading roles. And actually we all have to decarbonize everything together or else our planet will continue warming disastrously.
