Is the only answer to climate change climate change?

In thoughts of energy consumption (“sustainable” or not) there are these two projects, the first image and title link is a project for Erie Plaza in Milwaukee, by Stoss LU, which uses “sustainable” power sources (water turbines) to heat stormwater to create steam to warm the plaza and grow bamboo in a climate otherwise completely unfit for it.  The second project, by Gross.Max, Global Warming/Local Freezing takes questionable consumption and fears of climate change to a pinnacle of sorts… the project proposes that the effects of global warming could be countered locally by building a nuclear power plant on the coast of Scotland which would cool the waters in order to cause local freezing and thus iceberg formation - the heat from the power plant is then used to create heated lagoons for tourists to enjoy along with the icebergs.

It all begs to question - Is the only answer to climate change climate change?

And… can “sustainable” and “cleaner” energy sources fuel increasing consumption, create tourist attractions and make inhabitable places more habitable.
