Government has to make noise to what the people that vote for them want.
As such several government has made noise about doing something about global warming. No government has done anything that actually do move the needle. It is all about promises that won't be fulfiled and things like banning non-ice cars 10-15 years out (so that it can keep getting pushed out).
You have the same issue with boycots etc. Companies will make noise and do cheap things like fire an employee or post something to company social media, or change a supplier. They won't do anything major.
And you don't have any influence on people on areas they care about. I can influence my mum on what phone she should buy, only because she does not greatly care and she thinks I know about things. We disagree politically, on lifestyle, etc.
