None of this "lulls" involved people, nor lets anyone off the hook.

These are things that ordinary people without a lot of money or power can work on today in a country like, say, the US, where the federal government is in the hands of evil people and is not going to be doing much in terms of climate change in the near future.

The federal government may be a lost cause for the moment, but your city or state might provide an avenue to get some things done. Those things won't fix the whole problem, but they're still progress, and the connections you make while doing those things will be useful in future, bigger fights.

I agree: people can work on this individually. And it won't make a lick of difference.

How many items on this list require government action? How many require corporations' cooperation. What am I going to do, build the bike lanes myself as a hobby?

The work is getting your local or state government to do the things. I thought that was quite obvious.
