We don't have social and economic institutions advanced enough to react logically to solve the problem. So we do nothing until it gets super bad. Ideologues of a certain persuasion don't like to admit it, but reality is what it is.
The truth is that the costs of dealing with global warming in 2050 are going to be astronomical. Whereas the cost of dealing with the problem in 2000 would have been manageable. If we had a better system we would have solved the problem already.

Find some way to target those people with something that'll make them want to give up their worldy possessions and stop being greedy.
Anything really. A blockbuster movie kinda like Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol." Except something that doesn't appeal to their morality and has a chance of working.
Or a highly addictive drug that alters the are of the brain responsible for greed.

Because Gore played a central role in popularizing both the existence of the problem and some extremely overblown claims about it.

Gore is irrelevant to the science of global warming, but he has been central in the politics of it -- and OP's question was not about the science, it was about the politics.
