Say I have US$10,000. What's the best use of that money if my goal is to stop climate change? (feddit.cl)

I think they're just asking, from a categorical imperative perspective, what is the most effective way for all individuals with a bit of savings to help the climate situation.

And tbh, at this point OP is probably better off spending that $10k on preparing for:

inclimate weather (HVAC, water proofing, warm clothing)
inconsistent power (battery backups, a generator)
food/clean water shortages (home gardening skills, rain catching/water purification).

At this point, there's virtually nothing that can be done to stop the impact of climate change, there is only adapting to survive it. The best we can do is vote and/or hope for our global political situation to finally reach its inevitable crisis point. But I don't expect that to be a pleasant experience.
