I think this is silly. Quality of life in America is orders of magnitude better than it was back in the '50s when our per capita carbon emissions were significantly higher [0] - there's no reason why we can't have even better quality of life with lower carbon emissions. Most carbon emissions are "invisible" to end consumers, i.e. through container ships, electricity generation, and manufacturing efficiency.
