That's fine and dandy when you're a wealthy Global West citizen. It's not enough when you're a developing world citizen that too wants a big house with a car or two, aircon, potable water, hot water on tap, paved roads, safe urban environments and so on. They can't "just relax for a bit", they are furiously building a better life for themselves, and it's 7 (soon 9) billion people vs 1 billion of Westerners. Unfortunately the only way we have now involves burning fossil fuels and there is no viable alternative (yet). Effectively this statist position boils down to "screw you, I got mine", which is generally considered unethical. The only alternative is to run forward as quickly as we can, fixing things as we go. By the way, would you consider "undoing" ozone-destroying refrigerants by banning/reducing AC and fridge use, or would you prefer a technological, "positive" solution of ozone-safe refrigerants?
