I don't know what return to normalcy anyone is expecting given pollution and climate change. If normal for Americans means polluting and emitting greenhouse gases, we'll accelerate tremendous suffering, including ourselves. If we want to avoid that suffering, we can change our lifestyles (which could increase health, longevity, stability, and more since we waste so much, despite our culture telling us it would cause deprivation and sacrifice). Either way, no return to normalcy, though if we choose to reduce polluting we would improve our lives.
