Another great post. The "well if we just did things differently..." is incredibly tone deaf because these very same people absolutely refuse to even stop eating meat every day and yet they try to say we just need to do things a bit better and then we're golden. Well sure, that might work. When can you start?

*crickets*

No one's willing to dial back their consumption or comforts (heaters in the winter, AC in the summer, etc.) Nothing will be done on that front. Ever. People will die before they'll do that. It's seen as an affront to their dignity. Also, any gains made in efficiency are offset by subsequent population growth, as well as development of the third world. 600 million Africans don't even have access to electricity currently, which is also seen as an affront to human dignity. What do you think their fuel source of choice is gonna be when they industrialize? Hint: it's not clean and it rhymes with bowl

What was that one tweet from like ten years ago, something like "Y'all say you want a revolution but you won't even stop eating at Chick-Fil-A."

Same sentiment comes to mind with these types.
