I believe people are much more reasonable then you give them credit for. When properly informed they will make the right choices. And the good news is that you don’t even need to wait for the majority to make the “right” vote. Apparently, it’s enough for the 3.5% of the population to take part in a sustained active resistance to bring about radical change [0]. This is also why I believe Extinction Rebellion is the last hope of humanity. [0] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSehRlU34w https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSehRlU34w

The majority of people who believe in climate change would be unwilling to pay $10 a month to avert it entirely. 3.5/100 is for easy concessions that didn't actually require giving up capital (like race concessions, because racism is actively irrational). A rational actor today who only cares about their own interests (like the super rich) will fight tooth and nail to prevent any actual change to their consumption.
