Emissions in Europe and China are declining due to massive government-subsidized rollouts of renewables and massive investments (and subsidies) for EVs and charging. They are not declining because people “made and individual choice to generate lower-carbon electricity or drive EVs” which would have been pointless without the technological investments that made mass-scale EVs and renewable energy possible.
This has always been a coordination problem and “people need to make individual choices that are better” has always been the worst possible solution to it.
