I think framing the ecological problems we differently face as "climate change" is part of the problem. It situates the issue as fundamentally international and beyond our own ability to assess and address. We are left in the role of appealing to those organised on those international scales, powerful states and huge corporations, to take action. There is no direct action approach if we frame the problem as climate change, it is a fundamentally non-anarchist way of looking at the issue.

Science tricks us by controlling the questions asked and the kinds of information used to then produce answers that privilege certain forms of action. An anarchist approach to ecological problems would start with different questions and use means available on a human scale to arrive at a different t framing of the issue that invites different kinds of answers.

tldr, there is no anarchist approach to climate change without an anarchist approach to science.
