"We don't want to tell people who are talking with joy about having kids or exotic vacations or luxury cars that they should hold back"
But those people, according to you have been worrying about climate change for over 30 years, so they should have made the decision not to fly to their holidays, to buy an electric luxury car.
If everyone is aware of this and spends time worrying about it then you shouldn't have to pressure other people, they would already be doing it.
The fact is, a large number of people don't believe / don't care (enough). That's why you need peer pressure.

But we are just humans and we fail for human reasons. > The fact is, a large number of people don't believe / don't care (enough). That's why you need peer pressure. The peer pressure works both ways. There is also peer pressure to have these fancy things. Peer pressure is, in a way, a neutral thing. It can work against action or for action. However, without effort it will just pick a high-entropy state of inaction.
