It's a rather bizarre argument, essentially saying "it's not the whole solution so it's not a solution at all"

Lawdamercy, can you please say it louder for the people in the back whinging that they refuse to vote for Biden because his Climate Bill wasn't perfectly everything all at once? In the face of the Republican denialist obstructionism, it's pretty fucking miraculous. The ultimate solution to climate change is going to be a patchwork quilt of a million different tiny solutions

I'm in the same school of thought of not dismissing things that would actually change many of the problematic issues that all have contributed their part to create the predicament we find ourselves in. If it's not just another greenwashing to profit off climate change awareness, then let's do it.

But it is a predicament. While I think we should do everything constructive to stop damaging the environment, I don't think this with the illusion that there are solutions, but just that we should do the right things regardless of their effectiveness.
