Do people seriously think we could "reverse" climate change?

That's not how the climate works.

Lol this is the same argument I've heard from climate change denialists for years: we can't possibly change the climate!

Now doomers are saying the same thing, but even more ridiculously because they almost certainly believe we have changed the climate already.

I think the issue people are arguing is you can't put the genie back in the bottle. You're not going to reform glaciers by choosing to drive an EV. You're not going to stop increasing rates and extremes of floods by turning off the basement lights when not in use.

This is not what the article is about at all. I'm not even sure how you would get that from reading the headline alone.
