I tend to think the market will be the primary force in solving this problem. Governments need to provide strong regulatory networks, penalize bad behaviour etc.. etc...
This will probably be what saves us.

What has been happening in the past ten years as far as the public is concerned is a series of increasingly unusual and destructive weather events that are not conclusively tied to climate change and are not shockingly, terrifyingly impactful to most individuals. They should be tied and should be terrifying already if someone is paying attention but I’m talking a complete collapse of a society or ecosystem or a massive death wave (sadly needs to be in a developed country), a season that doesn’t come, permanent water rationing... something biblical in scale. Something 70% people can’t deny or ignore.
