We must all do what we can. There isn’t time for petulance.

  That's a rather emotive argument. Do you have any evidence to back it up, that reducing the air travel and other extravagances wouldn't be sufficient, but that we need to give up daily pleasures? To me, it sounds like restricting drinking water to fight the drought in California: useless, gesture actions which target the daily lives of people, causing annoyance -- while allowing almond farmers (and others) to continue the real problem, without challenge. If climate change is actually a serious problem (and I think it is), then its time for people to stop promoting emotive witch-doctor solutions (such as restricting drinking water in restaurants to fight a drought) and start taking a serious, data-driven look at causes.

  nope sorry. Decision is on another table. More like if we want to share our piece of Pie with China/India population. What do you think will happen if their income increases with 50%? Biological food? Gender Neutral clothing? No, just same way of consuming we did for the past 50 years. Each gram you are going to save is compensated by kilos that their side. the only think we still can do is heavily putting tariffs on their services/good in order to increase our standards of living unless we want to come on equal par
