The Chinese not so concerned since they been doing their bit. While western countries just continue to bicker.
And how about stopping all these wars? That would make a massive difference. But no, they continue to focus on cow flatulence.
NB
The entire humanity wants to be salvaged from the stupid and redundant climate calamity, and survive. Governments must act. However, it is mainly up to the people. Those with entrepreneurial spirit – invest in solar energy projects: It saves the Earth, and brings good money. Car owners – replace your retarded petroleum wagons into EVs: It saves the Earth, saves money and brings comfort and performance.

Another way. One-in-Five people are climate deniers.
NB
But their influence and damage are much bigger.

or believe different scientists:

Yes people may "support" bold climate action but are they actually doing something about it?
Fact is the rate of release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere has not slowed down even a bit. According to recent news the rate of release is actually increasing at a record level now

Do you want to be more green? Yes. Do you want to go to bed when it gets dark and get up at dawn? Er, no. Do you want a domestic energy use cap and regular power cut? No. Do you want to return your air conditioner? Absolutely not! Do you want to never go by car - walk or cycle instead, regardless of the weather. No. Do you want a 20% tax hike to support poorer nations going green. No! Do you want to never be able to replace stuff when it breaks, as the consumer economy has an bit of an imprint. And never go further than 15 mins active travel away for your holidays? No. And only eat produce grown local, when it is in season? No more tropical fruit. Lots of cabbage. Er, no. And surrender your job and career, as it has a carbon footprint and is inessential, instead becoming a farm labourer? No.
So, you only like the idea of going green then. But none of the consequences. Bit like Brexit.
[Apologies if the above formats badly when it posts - you get the idea.]

People can greatly reduce their carbon footprint without losing their quality of life.

It may appear that there are two scientific camps with equal standing, and anyone can choose to which scientists to believe. However, there are various types of scientific arguments. The strongest scientific arguments are those that are tightly connected to experimental evidence. The amount of ice at the poles and high summits is being monitored. The temperature around the globe is being measured. time profile of the temperature for the recent period, as well as for a very long time in the past, is known – Watch the video with the title "This Will Be My Most Disliked Video On YouTube | Climate Change" at the ASTRUM YouTube channel. The author of the video wants us to survive, but he is to shy or intimidated to say that explicitly.

That will continue to shrink.

Anyone who talks about 'climate-deniers' is a propagandist and a smear merchant. No one denies the climate. No intelligent person denies the fact that climate has been changing from day one. What many intelligent people, including scientists, doubt is the theory that climate warming is driven by our emissions. Even the IPCC admits that this is not proven.

Plenty of my neighbors here in South Cal still deny that global warming is happening. Oh well.
NB
But it is more intelligent to realize that the climate warming is indeed driven by our emissions.

Have you got any links to groups of climate change scientists that support the above assertion?

IPCC - "It is unequivocal that humans are causing the warming. Changes in the
sun's activity and volcanic eruptions are not the cause of the warming
trend."
So what is causing the climate to warm? Scotch mist?
Mie Fox

Have you got any links to groups of climate change scientists that support the above assertion?
Dr. Willie Soon is quite vocal about it :

Ok, but do you have any links to any groups of climate change scientists that support the above assertion?
There will always be rogues who want to get their name out their by making outrageous statements. But groups are much harder to sway.
Strangerland
No there aren't.
Jimizo
Quite the websites you frequent.
Just a feeling bit the following text from that website may indicate that there may be a political agenda here:
Please forgive us for thinking this may be playing to the less intelligent and partisan.

If you feel you can't or aren't willing to do something about it, that's one thing. But to continue, in this day and age, to deny that there's been an ongoing problem of human activity affecting the rate of climate change, that's a whole other level of "Bruh...".
I most likely can't do all of those. I can (and do) do some of those and find some middle ground on at least some of the others. Doing something is probably better than doing nothing.
I will see your completely objective inorganic chemist writing for the absolutely reputable scientific website WND (A Free Press for a Free People - Since 1997) and raise.
