Politicians aren’t taking climate change seriously because they know how big of a problem it is and how unpopular and costly the solutions truly are.

Don’t wait for the politicians to act on climate change. They won’t. Don’t waste your money on virtue signaling by buying grid tied solar panels or organic food. It won’t help the problem.

Be prepared to be impacted by climate change sooner than later. Expect more power outages and food shortages at the store. Expect more damage to your land and property due to all forms of extreme weather – heavy bursts of rain and flash flooding in the east, extreme wildlife risk in the west.

Best to be self reliant. Live off grid or at least have a generator. Own less stuff likely to be destroyed in severe weather. Have a tractor with a front end loader to repair wash outs and bury debris. Grow, produce and harvest more of your own food. Keep money in the bank rather than physical assets easily destroyed in severe weather.
