I don't think the climate change will be solved by laypeople having shorter showers, sitting in tiny condos without air conditioning and buying groceries with the big word "SUSTAINABLE" all over the packaging.
Much more realistically, just like COVID-19 made mRNA commercially viable, actual decrease in quality of life from the climate change will pave the road to engineered carbon-capturing plants, or some smart sun-reflecting particles, or something else.
So if you want to help solve climate change, go study biotechnology and get serious about it. Making your own life arbitrarily uncomfortable and finding a meaning of life in pressuring peers to follow suit won't move the needle in a statistically significant way.
