Don't read HN on this topic. Read what actual climate experts have to say. Look at their academic and public-facing statements on the subject. Climatologists, climate economists, energy and agriculture experts.

Start with reading. For example http://www.withouthotair.com/

The OP is asking how to use their skills to support the cause. What do academics and public statements have to do with this?

The experts on this topic are better able to answer OP's question than HN is. They publish documents that OP can read to learn about what is an effective approach and what is not.
