Yeah, people are only "environmentally friendly" only up to the line of inconvenience, if we want to live sustainably we'd have to have the living standards of South Sudan or Benin[1].
Yeah I realize this is doomerism and "Why bother?", but, realistically, why bother? Some people have the deus-ex machina fantasy that "some technology will come along and save us all" and other than that, IMO there's only pain in the future, either most of the planet burns up, with all the human conflict along the way (fighting over water and food), or the whole planet actually commits to living like South Sudanese (hah, what was that about having fantasies?), and even then the emissions until now will still have an effect decades into the future...
