Lifestyle changes are going to be inevitable, one way or the other.

  I don't think that's a given for people alive today. Climate change happens on a global scale, not a human scale. People wont "feel" it's change. I'm happy to make sacrifices, but a lot of vocal people are not. We need to stop talking about "making sacrifices". We need to get people excited about the amazing opportunities all this work provides us. It's exciting to me that we need to replant our forests. We have new power plants to build. New desalination plants! New farming technologies! So much work in so many industries, it can be an exciting time of growth if you ask me!

    > People wont "feel" it's change. Oh, but 'people' feel its change. You feel it. But it is all secondary, or even further away. Coffee is more expensive. Gas (CNG) prices is already costing many households more in these summer months. Gasoline prices are at record hights. Water is increasing in price. Electricity prices are at record heights (which, is increasing my IT infrastructure bills). In many regions we cannot get certain potatoes doe to crops failing. And so on. You see the effects, when you look for em. In your wallet. On your table. In your bottom lines and revenues. So, aside from the opportunities we may see, there are effects having impact on average peoples live this very moment

      It is happening – China has been imposing power curb throughout the whole country. Since I work in manufacturing, I can see the cost of everything is rising, i.e. metals, chemicals, and even shipping fee. Now the consumers won't feel these because the whole supply chain is still absorbing the cost. But the effects will eventually it will get to individuals in various forms.
