You don't need to live in a cave with a hair shirt to
a) acknowledge there is a problem
b) do things to ameliorate the problem
A carbon neutral civilization can be achieved with existing technologies within a couple of decades.
Ontario is well on it's way having eliminated coal and many, including riders, will adopt EV ( and are ).
Voting for govs that are committed to carbon neutral is the best step an individual can make.
Buying carbon credits to neutralize your carbon footprint gets rid of that aspect as it does not matter how the carbon is reduced
It's not expensive at all to zero out your personal fooprint.

Maybe $150 a year. I offset my flights and recently zeroed out the carbon for the biz/home. Working from home of course saves commuting which represents a major obstacle to carbon neutral
New vehicles like the Boeing Dreamliner get better mileage per pssenger than a Prius with 4 people in it. So many companies move toward solutions.
The world is moving toward low carbon .....pace is not ideal but there a few naysayers remaining.
The changed climate will make for interesting times .....already is.

How do we know what is human influence & what is natural? Show me a gauge that we can use to measure.
Isotope analysis shows how much C02 is derived from the use of fossil fuel ....
That's been clear for a decade
Isotopes of Carbon Dioxide - NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory

by EW Team - 2005
As an example of these isotopic fingerprints, and how they can help scientists, consider this: fossil fuels do not contain 14C. By studying how the concentration of 14C has changed in the atmosphere, scientists have determined that the atmospheric increase in carbon dioxide is dominated by fossil fuel emissions.
But if won't believe the scientists then it's entirely hopeless to even discuss it with you
You never heard of global cooling, I posted it for you. It just proves they flip flopping.
as to this ...yes there was some global cooling due to SO2 emissions in ( acid rain ) which effectively neutralized CO2 influence until it was cleaned up.
( education break

Injecting SO2 into the stratosphere is still being bandied about as a geo-engineering solution tho it's a pretty dire one.
A big volcano emits enough SO2 to cool the atmosphere a bit
but the affect is short lived.
