Global Warming Big Issue
Is it true that people aren't working to solve this problem

This is just my opinion, but I have not seen significant human changes that would influence gas emissions and storage. There is also a lack of consensus around the ultimate impact. [1] I am not comfortable with some of the proposed changes, such as Bill Gates wanting to dim the sun. That could also go horribly sideways and I have concerns about our ability to dial that back. There has also been an increase in volcanic activity which adds to the gas feedback loops and I am not sure how we address them or even begin to understand how that fits into the big picture. There are changes in ocean currents, some getting warmer, some colder and this releases CO2 in some places and allows for storage in others. Storage is slower than release. I believe we need more sensors around the world measuring much more than CO2.

Yes. Most of the work so far has been PR. There have been no actual solutions presented that can prevent more than 2 degree rise in temperatures. We are already on track for at least 2 degrees and more. There is also the fact that the oceans are great reservoirs of energy so even if we manage to reverse the trend because of the energy stored in the oceans we will have to live on a warmer planet for several decades. This is assuming we actually start reversing global warming, which there is no indication that current market driven methods can address.
