I am not sure which is more cringey, the litany of erroneous assumptions you splayed out or the act of calling upon the student archetype with the intent of derision. Anti-intellectualism, check. src
You can have different opinions about what approach should be taken to combat climate change and dislike the hyperbolic statements some politicans make about it, but if you unironically believe climate change is a hoax in current year you're on the same level as flat-earthers and creationists.
Perhaps a shift in focus would be better. Fixing the old isn't going to solve anything, even without humans the planet would warm up as its part of its cycles, we're just speeding it up.
Instead spending time in finding how to mitigate the effects, how to prevent desertification or even revert it, more efficient desalinisation techs, better filtering and how to reuse waste, how to remove pollution from the atmosphere, planning on how to deal with the mass movements of people, better farming techniques for the change in climates and how to make them sustainable, and so forth, seems to be far more important.
So much time and money spent stating the obvious, build the tech to stop it instead of trying to get the world to fundamentally change, it won't. Its a waste of time. the old is set in its ways, work towards a future instead.
Always vote the parties that plan on addressing it head on, not those stuck in the old ways of tribal politics and divisive politics. We can't confront climate change without cooperating, divided we are doomed. This is bigger than any of us.
Yes, but... Corporate liability means nothing in regards to climate. No amount of fines, taxes or fireing of executives equals liability. In the end we, as employees and citizens, end up paying the bill in every way possible. We lose our jobs, income and the means to support ourselves and our children. In the long run we also lose the ability to breathe, lose access to clean water and in the end we lose our supply of food and eventually our lives. I don’t want to blame corporations because in our current economical system corporations are people and people are corporations. It’s more of a government issue. We need to fundamentally change the idea of what we as a species regard as progress. As long as you can invest in a business that destroys our climate and still make a profit this climate-problem will NEVER change.
It has become very clear to me that the ongoing nationalistic values and politics are negatively impacting the work towards improved climate. No single nation can solve our human problem with their own interests preserved. I believe we urgently need a global initiative with power to force nations to change. The nations are no longer of any importance. All of us, 7,5 billion citizens of Earth, are!
Give us an democratic elected government of Earth!
I’m sorry if this post wasn’t spot on topic but I really felt this needed to be said.

Acktually we'd next be going back into a glacial time since we're already in an interglacial. It's over for milankovitchlets.
It's a useless argument to say oh we shouldn't try to address the systemic issue and just adapt. The adaptation will be in motion whatever the outcome, but it's immensely easier to adapt to the lower range of projected outcomes than the upper end, both technologically and financially.

China is dumping rafts of garbo into the ocean, but you, man from tiny town America, you get to give me money 'voluntarily' and I'll fix it I promise
