You're just ignoring the second half of my statement entirely. Changing your behaviour and taking political action to change the context of our behaviour are two sides of the same coin. If you're not willing to change your own behaviour, how are you expecting to change the states?
This just ends up with you declaring: It's someone else problem to make me.
That's not pragmatic. Unless you personally invest time and effort into political change to address these issues, it's just lazy and irresponsible.
Just own that. I have adjusted some behaviours and still fall short in many other areas. Never said it was easy. But here is actually an example where it is easy. Take the train and little cost in time and money, while gaining comfort and productive time. And you're saying you can't even be expected to do that? That's just cynical and irrational.

I don't actually know what's best. I need to be told what's best by one having a prohibitively high price. I don't even need to claim that it won't work, I can just point to evidence and you can see: it does not work. People are taking the plane because they can afford to.
