Shift away from consumerism and go back to a more local economy. Yes, that's going to be very bad for the western world's way of life. I forfeit my extra points because there's no way to change without some disruption.

Do it like China, handle it, the hard but effective way.
Well if we start down the Billionaire list, we can drop half of all emissions after just a few thousand names.
But the actual solution is moon base manufacturing solar reflectors and having orbital platforms beam microwave energy down to the planet.
Billionaires pollute like crazy with their jets. For each one of their jets that goes down, you save the environment and you have one less billionaire that shouldn't exist in the first place.
