> You won't get people to agree to make their life worse for the sake of the environment,
This. The sooner we understand this, the sooner it will be possible to have useful propositions.
> no matter how much activists keep trying to push that.
A huge part of the problem are the (usually) most vocal among the activists, who spit utter idiocies like: "It's too late: run!"
No! If it is too late, there's no point in running. If global warming is irreversible, there's no point in freaking up the whole word economy. Propose something that works and we will discuss the benefit-cost ratio. Going around howling nonsense only creates noise and lessen the credibility of the great people who are trying, with their heart, to solve the biggest problem humanity has ever had to deal with.
