Ok.
Do you think we will be able to get China and the U.S. to shut down?

The only reason people say it is not happening, is because to admit it is, would then require action. Actions costs dollars!
Climate change is a human crisis, and most people are still not appreciating the chaos it can cause on a global scale if a huge part of the world's population is forced to migrate somewhere else to survive.

Shut down? No, dramatically improve their performance, yes.

The world buys enough from China - put tariffs on polluting goods - incentivise them.
Much worse than that, actions mean me too- I actually have to be put out a bit (a lot) to save the world. Analogous to the , 'smoking-will-kill-you' knowledge we have in bucket loads. "Yes it will, but not today, I'll quit when it gets serious."
The other major problem is the US's (and others) solemn belief that, "Got a problem? Just beat it to death with dollars." Handy, 'cos it makes the rich richer.

Inaction costs dollars as well.

It is absolutely ridiculous that no one seems to be taking it seriously. Yes, governments have paid lip service, but that seems to be all.
I honestly don't think that anybody (of those in positions of power) gives two sheets. There's still this mentality of "I don't care because me and my family will be long dead before the sheet hits the fan. In the meantime, there's mega money to be made."

In general it seems that those who deny climate change is anything to do with humankind tend to also hate the EU, ignore political corruption, and believe anything they are told about the 'virus'...
Not much chance of future change is there!

Until or unless it is seen as more important than other things it'll always get ignored.
If politicians thought it was more important that they act on it than implement Brexit for example then we'd actually see action. But I don't think we as a country do care that much.
If it gets to a point where people will vote for the party with the best plans for dealing with climate change then it'll get taken seriously by politicians. Right now it's third tier.

A somewhat irrelevant question regarding the issue of denying its happening...
