CO2 is quite unimportant in controlling the Earth's climate, what is important is clouds.

A problem with these sort of conversations is that it become so polarized and the rhetoric tend to tilt toward absolutes. This movie have arguments that must be taken into account, but, that does not mean we should not continue reducing pollution, nor reducing fossil energy use or overall material consumption.
Do to human expansion, infrastructure, agriculture and our meddling in nature we have changed the consequence of normal weather and we feel the effect of this, its tempting to mistake that for climate change.

"What is the cheapest way to beat climate change?"

Tackling climate change, viewed from an economic angle. You will often hear people whining about how expensive it is to fight climate change. Those people usually not only ignore the costs that will arise if we don't do anything, they also ignore the economic reality, usually lobbying for certain economic interests.

Funnily, there are even solutions that come with negative costs. Others (like bicycle infrastructure) don't cost much, they only need to be done.

Cue up that song from #Bread : "IF"
"...if the world should stop revolving
spinning slowly down to die
I'd spend the end with you
And when the world is through.
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away"

But it should make us think more than twice about mining other worlds and then adding all that extraterrestrial mass to the terrestrial mass.

Climate change has slowed Earth’s rotation — and could affect how we keep time

I'm doing so much better than last year saving electricity.

Sadly my savings are insignificant in the horrible situation we are in.

5 minutes flight of a fighter jet generates more CO2 than I saved the whole year.

So why should I care when most people have either given up or simply don't bother caring for the #environment any more and they all are hell bent in the global arms race madness.

https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses/112093951203096593 breadandcircuses@climatejustice.social - Woo-hoo, this is it!  🎉 Let’s celebrate! 🥳  If you live in the USA, today is Earth Overshoot Day for 2024!!

That means we’ve used our entire carbon budget in this country for the full year. We have exceeded our Ecological Footprint.

So, as of today, no one will be driving ICE cars or flying on airplanes. All our fossil fuel power plants are shutting down until next January. No more single-use plastics for the rest of the year. Everything is getting delivered by bicycle or on foot, and —

  — wait, what? It doesn’t mean that?

It means nothing changes at all? You mean we’ll still be polluting the atmosphere with greenhouse gases and poisoning our bodies with microplastics?

Nothing changes? Nothing??!!

Shit.
