It's very clear that we have plenty of intelligence but we are not acting in it. What intelligence are we missing that is needed to solve climate change? (our most pressing problem - which AI is exacerbating)

You're literally making the point that we already have intelligence. I'm not sure how this is supposed to be an argument for a shortage. To revise: The point you are arguing against is not that intelligence is not important but that it's not the bottleneck.

Cheaper solar and batteries? Effective drilling for geothermal? Working cost-effective fusion plants? Earlier awareness of the issue? Better coordination and communication? Better dealmaking? Better support of laws for voting systems that reflect broad preferences and that internalize externalities?
What answer could you possibly hope there be, other than intellectual ones?

?? So do chimpanzees? The existence of intellectual capability does not preclude returns from greater intellectual capability.
