Don't you Europeans think that the situation this winter is a rare chance to reverse the global warming trend?
That's not going to happen. In 2021 the global total CO2 emissions were 36.3 billion tonnes. There is nothing at all that an individual can do to make a difference to that number. We can't fix climate change. Unless the overwhelming majority materialistic consumers, energy companies, and manufacturers change massively the planet is fucked.
The only rational course of action now is to find ways to live with it, which is what you're suggesting. Just don't think it'll help fix the root cause of the problem because it won't.
