5. The Mistake People Are Making

is supporting big government climate solutions. It's putting all your eggs in one basket then having a few key politicians (Manchin) step on them.

It's better to have solutions enacted on a more local distributed level. A collection of small solutions can add up to big changes. The real tools in the climate change fight will be things like conservation, efficiency and mitigation. Going for large-scale actions is setting yourself up for failure just about every time. People become frustrated and resigned to their fate. Better to have small scale actions with a higher chance of success that encourage folks to actually take action on their own without having to rely on politicians to do it for them. Politicians are easily corruptable.
