So rather avoid tyranny and sacrifice the thin habitable egg-shell of an atmosphere we have for the generations to come? I am all personal freedom, which is why I am on the side of doing something against climate change since the 90s. The later we respond the more it will have to affect personal freedoms as well. And it is too late. Ethically you can compare sacrificing a whole planet and it's ecosystems against the personal freedoms of a small subset of people (both in space and time). One of those affects all people and future generations. The other doesn't. It still is a shitty choice, sure and I don't like it. But we are too late to ease into a different mode of living comfortably. You are right that reactance needs to be factored into any crisis managment (especially in democratic systems), this is why I think targeting regulations and manufacturers is better than consumers etc. But there will have to be sacrifices. Is democracy worth more than the survival of the human race? On way for it to survive would be to actually vote for people who do the things that need to be done. Ignoring growing problems comes at a price and someone will have to pay it. If we are not paying it now, the whole planet and our kids will pay it later, with dividends.
