I think the point of the comic is that it is really depressing to hear this as a kid, in ways the teacher doesn’t understand.
I was an environmental educator for a while and part time activist in college but I gave up.
It really seems like an intractable problem. But I recommend Kim Stanley Robinson’s Ministry for the Future novel for a speculative fiction / near future grappling with how society might respond to a warming world.
Spoiler: it starts with a heat-wave natural disaster which radicalizes India into a rogue state, which then does geoengineering on its own, but this isn’t enough by itself.
Just based on that summary, I immediately thought of the book Termination Shock, which has a similar premise of an actor beginning to geoengineer with global reprecussions - though it’s heavier on the politics of the situation than any actionable info. If you haven’t read it, I’d recommend. I’m definitely going to pick up Ministry For The Future.
Isn’t the concept of the comic that it isn’t enough?

I guess he should be overthrowing the oligarchy and writing a new constitution with environmental protection as one of the main focuses.
But he’s a drawing, so he can’t. Will you?
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. No, that’s not within my capabilities
That’s exactly the point
