Three different things get mixed up when people talk about climate strategies.
A strategy can be popular: plenty of people say they support it.
A strategy can be cheap: it does not cost much money or effort.
A strategy can work: it actually cuts the harm it claims to cut.
These three rarely line up. A popular home swap can still be tiny next to a rule or a business change; a rule or a business change can cut a lot and still cost people something they resent.
The question is not only who can act. It is where the biggest real difference sits, and people who study this disagree in good faith. Your job today is to weigh the claims, not to pick a winning side for the class.
Talk these through as a class. Nothing is written down and nothing is saved.
