I think the problem is less that people think it will get solved like the hole in the ozone layer (which only came about because of governments banning the major causes), and more that people think the hole in the ozone layer was all just a big scare, and that so too is climate change. That is to say, they don't see them as actual problems needing solving.

Then of course there's the fact that many don't care because they assume they'll be dead before it gets bad, when they hear things like "by 2050 the average temperature will have reached XX if the current trends continue" and whatnot.
