No, political corruption by fossil fuel industry is the problem. There is overwhelming public support for more action on climate change. Politicians who told you climate change was the most important problem consistently behave contrary to those claims. That's what it comes down to.

There are also a bunch of people who don't want it. They're not the problem though because at times when their politicians did not hold enough power to prevent action, there was still no action. Pretty simple test there.

If any segment of the public "need education" about the issue before something meaningful will be done, it is actually the voters who support climate change, and what they need to be educated on is the fact that their politicians are failing them and must be held to account.
