This article is a good read. Climate change in and of itself is really just a bit player in our high speed efforts to completely rupture this beautiful planet:

Solving climate change is easier (I guess?) than controlling the population. If you start "controlling" the population, you get into genocide, eugenics and taking people's rights.
Climate change can be tackled with green energy, re-forestation, greener transportation options (electric rail and cars), reduced packaging/waste... We can all make relatively minor changes to our lives in order to contribute.
