It sure doesn't. One person's consumption, no matter how extravagant, doesn't matter even the tiniest tiniest bit.

The only solution is massive, concerted, governmental action.

Just like one car doesn't pollute...

How did we end up in this situation if it isn't an accumulation of individual actions?

Of course individual actions matter, not necessarily because of their direct impact but because of the snowball effect. Look at how green parties started 60 years ago, it was hippies and nut jobs, today they make 10-25% of votes in EU elections.
