Where is the science showing that governments can change climate and save us all ?
You act like the science is hidden. It's not, there is probably more scientists working on this than anything else.
Emissions reduction: reducing climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. ... Solar geoengineering: large-scale engineered modifications to limit the amount of sunlight reaching the earth, in an attempt to offset the effects of ongoing greenhouse gas emissions.
Dubai built the Palm Islands....Maldives, remember them?...they were supposed to be under water now, built a new airport....Singapore built the second tallest building in the world...on and on and on and on
The US has taken steps to reduce consumption but is still one of the largest generators of green house gases along with Canada and was the number one for decades. Our per capita consumption is twice that of China, they are number one in absolute terms because their population is 5 times the size of ours but each citizen uses far less than us.
Climate doesn't change rapidly but to correct the problem we need to reduce consumption world wide. CO2 exists in the atmosphere for decades so it's a difficult battle. It doesn't help when politicians claim we don't even have a problem and roll back even minor attempts aimed at a solution.
Maybe if we all made our own rockets to fly about the planet and beyond and then come back to earth and talk about how concerned we are about climate change and that everybody else needs to walk and turn their power off, it would all be a-0kay.
You don't care about anyones pocketbook except your own.
It is always a lot cheaper to fix a problem than to ignore it.
Estimates of how much money it would take to end global climate change range between $300 billion and $50 trillion over the next two decades.
Our analysis finds that, if present trends continue, these four global warming impacts alone will come with a price tag of almost $1.9 trillion annually (in today's dollars), or 1.8 percent of U.S. GDP per year by 2100. https://www.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/cost.pdf

Are you saying that the changing climate is not causing this?
As the global climate crisis worsens, an increasing number of people are being forced to flee their homes due to natural disasters, droughts and other weather events. These people are sometimes called “climate refugees”.

It appears that all of the anecdotal incidents that you note are just weather. There may have been an exception that you posted somewhere, but I doubt it.

Anecdotal? Oh really. You think you are an expert in the field of climate science? Kudos to you then.
Weather refers to atmospheric conditions that occur locally over short periods of time—from minutes to hours or days. Familiar examples include rain, snow, clouds, winds, floods or thunderstorms.
Climate, on the other hand, refers to the long-term regional or even global average of temperature, humidity and rainfall patterns over seasons, years or decades.
There are no experts in the field of climate science.
Oh really?
How do I become a climate change expert?
For most entry-level jobs, environmental scientists and specialists must have a bachelor's degree in environmental science or a science-related field, such as biology, chemistry, physics, geosciences, or engineering. However, a master's degree may be needed for advancement.

...and China is building military bases...on islands in the South China Sea...that are barely above sea level
No, I'm saying that it appears the rest of the world is not falling for it...
China has a coast...China has climate scientists...China has a space station
....doesn't look like China is falling for this sea level rise crap at all
