One of the challenges in doing something about climate change is the significant (and not entirely unfounded) distrust growing between the public and the government.

Basically amounting to, "well, you say you're doing X to combat climate change, but is X actually a competent solution (I don't trust your competence), and are you doing it to actually help or just to line pockets (I don't trust your intent)".

The other challenge is that we as individual humans are loathe to give up our comfortable lifestyle if such turns out to be necessary.
