I'm a climate activist, and I can't control how others act, but I'm in favor of, like you say, anything that works.
The Citizens' Climate Lobby is focusing on a carbon fee and dividend. I'm new to the movement (so take what I say with a grain of salt) but I like what I see so far. We're very focused on one particular legislative approach, not because other things won't help, but because it's hard enough getting legislation like H.R. 763 through congress already, and distractions dilute our precious time and energy. So the CCL is pushing on just this one bill, which we think is the most effective approach for us.
But I'd love to see people work on everything and everything. I just think it's probably most effective for most organizations to focus on a relatively narrow area.

The environmental movement has a lot to answer for, for setting back progress of nuclear power by decades.
Instead, climate activists promote a very narrow Utopian vision and work against everything that falls outside this vision. These activists don't really care about the environment: they're using climate activism as a pretext for advancing some Utopian project and putting themselves in charge of how we all live. These people are discrediting all climate science in the eyes of regular people.
