We know climate change exists because of what JayR noted. You are correct, we tax things we don't want and we subsidize things we do want. How has that worked so far? Car dealerships have lots of EVs that nobody wants. The wind and solar industries are a scam, spending billions (maybe trillions) of dollars with no meaningful impact on our energy supply. But, we vote in politicians who supposedly represent the will of the people. I guess we want high energy costs.
That said, it seems that the winters are milder than when I was a kid.

The problem is we expect quick results today, like looking for info on the internet. Climate change has happened over millions of years but people expect to see the results of slowing that down right away, it just doesn't happen that way.
Like I said, I don't know the answer, but I do know the results of doing is nothing.
On the plus side, a longer boating season would be nice!
