This problem starts and ends with corporations and government regulations. It’s barely worth it to talk to people about it right now. Maybe in 10 years when things are a bit more on fire and people are more willing to listen.

The problem is: when things will be on fire, it will be much more difficult or impossible to get them back to an acceptable level.

We could all stand to drive less and wear sweaters inside during the winter.

That's what we have been relying on for the last forty years and we still have an issue.
Corporations respond to demand. If someone is willing to buy a barrel of oil to burn then you can be sure you will find someone else to pull it out of the ground for them.
