Im not trying to use posts other than to prove that Globally people consider Climate Change ( Frank Luntz - a republican advisor who coined the term for the Bush Administration -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Luntz) to be real and want it addressed. The people are speaking. If they dont then that is on them. But the same argument that you use should also postulate your position, and quite frankly I dont see validation either.
I see alot of posts on riddiculing an embryonic industry that has growing pains like any new industry. The World has not fully transitioned into renewables, BUT it is trying. That tells me something.
I read articles that apply to two parts of the thread header.
A. Accelerate the worlds transition -> Existing and some transitions. I see unbelievable announcements which I thought I would post then express my thoughts but I dont have time for that.
B. To fight Anthropogenic Climate Change -> Is a dry argument that quite frankly beyond the interest of many posters on here. But when I do find ones that articulate the message I post it. Thus...

The Theory of Anthropogenic Climate Change is that humans are causing most of the current changes to climate by burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. This section summarizes the scientific understanding of anthropogenic climate change.
Scientific Consensus
The overwhelming majority of climate studies indicate that human activity is causing rapid changes to the climate, which will cause severe environmental damage. There is a strong scientific consensus on the issue. Studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals show that 97 percent of climate scientists agree that climate warming is from human activities [52]. There is no alternative explanation for the observed link between human-produced greenhouse gas emissions and the changing modern climate. Most leading scientific organizations endorse this position, including the U.S. National Academy of Science which was established in 1863 by an act of Congress under President Lincoln. Congress charged the National Academy of Science “with providing independent, objective advice to the nation on matters related to science and technology” [53]. Therefore, the National Academy of Science is the leading authority when it comes to policy advice related to scientific issues.
One way we know that the increased greenhouse gas emissions are from human activities is with isotopic fingerprints. For example, fossil fuels have a ratio of stable carbon-13 to carbon-12 (13C/12C) that is different from today’s stable carbon ratio in the atmosphere. Studies have been using isotopic carbon signatures to identify anthropogenic carbon in the atmosphere since the 1980s. Isotopic records from the Antarctic Ice Sheet show stable isotopic signature from ~1000 AD to ~1800 AD and a steady isotopic signature gradually changing since 1800 followed by rapid change after 1950. These changes show the atmosphere having a carbon isotopic signature increasingly more similar to that of fossil fuels [42; 54].
Good Day.
