"Doing something" is a vague and nebulous term. People will have to give up tangible things they don't want to. Fighting climate change isn't all puppy dogs and rainbows. It's living in a walkup apartment instead of a house, it's trading a cheeseburger for a veggieburger, and it's riding an ebike in the rain instead of driving.
I already do most of those things. Most people I meet that promote "doing something" about climate change, suddenly say, "well not that!" when I start talking about the high GHG emissions from common everyday "necessities" they feel they can't or shouldn't have to part with.
