I see things quite differently. I believe for an honest attempt to reverse climate change "we" should first start reducing the activities that created the problem in the first place, and all those are related to industrialization.
Btw I use the word "we" in brackets because I am not really talking about people individually. It is a global issue that industries have created it by following an economical model of eternal expansions. Eternal expansion is not sustainable.
If we take a look for example at a pie chart of Sector by sector: where do global greenhouse gas emissions come from? we can see that they come from:
That's a sum of 46.56% already, and I am leaving things out like mono-cultures and meat industry.
So I'd say I don't think "we" need to do more, "we" actually need to do less.
It’s not enough to stop, we need to restore the world to a climate that has supported humanity and quickly.
